Unexpected Rabbits, now what

[Prairiechick]

Hmm, or a broken Chocolate?

Looks like a broken opal to me

 

[sonnythebunny]

I agree, broken opal and broken black

 

[BunnyRabbit]

I agree on the colors too.

Clearly, y'all are seeing something that I don't on the rabbit that I called a broken blue. I do not see light rings around the eyes, nor ear lacing, which would be indicators of the agouti gene (opal). There is a slight, lighter edge on part of the ear, but I have seen than on lots of broken selfs, and if you look closely, the "broken black" has it, too. At the base of this rabbit's ears, I am seeing a line of deeper gray, which looks to me like the rabbit is molting in a new coat. Dilute colors often fade quite a bit between moltings (often taking on a brownish or even orangish tinge), which is why I think this animal is a sun-faded broken blue.

I see what you're talking about. It doesn't look to be molting to me though. However I agree it definitely could be a sun faded broken blue.

I wonder if the OP could get a picture blowing into one of the colored spots to see.

Sure i could do that. Give me a few hours to find my camera and i will see what i can do. I will also post my other lovely pets that have recently come!

You didn't say where you live? If you are in a climate to keep them outdoors and can get a cage together to move around, that would be a pretty sweet deal for handling the poop.

Good luck!

The keeping them was never really part of the plan. Someone left them to die and our plan was to foster them till they found a home. But when my neighbor inquired my daughter burst into tears. So now they are here to stay. The lighter one is the male. I live in the PNW and they are kept outside. When the weather turns in fall our buns will be moved into our insulated stick built shed.

I want to collect the poo in bins so i dont have to move something. Now i have 5 buns and poo is abundant. I cannot just move the a cage about my yard as my kids play back there.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but all I see is a giant square with a red x in the upper left corner.
