March Litter Update, Mar. 26 [PM]
We've got 5 out of 8 litters born.
In addition to Cindy and Choir, Windy, Tink, and Conina have had theirs.
Windy had TWELVE! (DCM)
They all look dark. Andy is the dad. He's a sable, but it turns out he is also carrying the Steel gene. There are NO recognized Rex colours that allow for a steel gene. The tricky part is that the steel gene doesn't show itself in a self coloured rabbit. That means I have no way of making sure any of these babies are not carrying Steel.
Tink had TEN. (DCN)
Looks like she acquiesced and built a nice nest in the box I gave her.
Tink was bred to Atticus. He is ALSO a sable (a broken one). I don't think he is carrying steel, but I can't be sure just yet. I will need to do a test breeding to find out for sure.
Conina had 6 big babies (DCP)
She was bred to Buddy. Buddy is a blue/cream harlequin.
It looks like 3 are lighter and 3 darker. I didn't have a close look yet (mom's kind of protective), so I don't know yet if any are harlequinized.
That leaves Cerebra, Cebreez, and Cerise.
Tune in tomorrow to see what's in the nest box.
