Hello from Michigan

Migrating from Rabbit Habbit which is apparently shutting down - javascript:emoticonp('')

Hoping this new forum will be even better! javascript:emoticonp('')

I'm mom to Neu Bunny Rabbitry (MI) which consists of myself and my 3 kids 4H projects. We are very new to rabbits -- my oldest got us all into this with 4H - next week will be her second year showing rabbits at fair!

Jillian (14) raises Jersey woolies and is considering adding lionheads.

Joshua (11) has minirex (he thinks our fluffy bunnies are too girly)

Rhiannon (11) is still deciding -- she has 3 minirex (and is planning her first breeding after fair), a french angora (which she declared too high maintenance) and her current favorite an American Fuzzy Lop (blue tort buck). She's currently looking for a good doe to match.

My baby is a fawn french angora buck which my kids got me for mother's day.

I love color genetics and calculating the odds for particular colors from a given cross (more fun than sudoku!)

Hello, I'm Kristina, and I raise JW in Florida. My colors are Agouti, Shaded, Self, and Tan. Welcome to the wool room
I saw on RH that you thought one of your rabbits what a squirrel? Which one? I have a squirrel and I can post pictures of him for you to compare if you'd like.

Nothing can compare to RH, but I created a Rabbit/Cavy forum that a few people have switched over too. http://s4.zetaboards.com/Rabbit_Addict/index/

Hi! Will be joining your forum too shortly!

Just reposted the photos in the critique segment here -- one in the middle (Trina) is the one we think is a squirrel doe. Sire is an opal carrying chin (Cchd) and dam is a black carrying dilute and either shaded or pointed. Which makes squirrel a good candidate on the genotype. Weird part was that this baby was born looking totally self (no agouti markings - identical to the blue brother) but the fur came in with rings. Early on, folks suggested this one was probably a shagouti, but (based on a litter with another doe) we are now sure the sire is carrying chin which should be dominant over the shaded.

Would love to see photos of your squirrel for comparison!
