Popples!

March 2nd, 2011

Five fat baby bunnies! One blue, one chocolate and three white ones! Yay!

Since chocolate and blue are both recessives, this means Dolce and Morpheus both carry recessives for brown as well as the dilution gene which makes blue out of black. Hmm, one of them may be "Lilac" instead of "Blue", but I'm pretty sure the brown one is "Chocolate". Looking at the genetics on the parents' charts it is also possible the white ones may end up "pointed" when they are grown.

Dolce is being a good mom. She had all her babies in the nest box and seems to be keeping them fed. It's still early yet, but hopefully she will keep all her babies warm and fed.
