Baby Bunnies!!

Penny had 7 adorable babies a few days ago. And NO reds!! Yay. I like the reds but I was getting kind of bored with them. This litter is 4 chocolate agouti's, 2 lynx and a cream. I will be keeping one of the lynx for sure (please, please, please be a doe little bunny . . .) Maybe the cream if it is a doe and possibly one of the Chocolate agouti's. I really hope that there are a lot of does in the litter as I have possible homes for a few of them already. I can't wait till they're old enough to get some wool from. Next winters spinning projects are going to be so much fun.

The whole litter - well the ones on top anyway!



One of the chocolate agouti's. They are all close in colour but a couple are a bit more red that others.



And the cream . . . isn't he/she sweet!



My favorite - they looked so silver blue when they were born that I launched into a study of my rabbits pedigrees and any color genetics info I could find online! I was sure they were going to be opal but that would be impossible with this cross as both parents are chocolate agouti and don't carry the black gene necessary to produce a blue/opal! Now that they are a few days old they are starting to show a bit more fawn colour in all that silver so lynx it is.
