French and English Angora Mixed Babies

My French Angora had her first litter of babies with my English Angora. They are 2 weeks and 1 day old. They haven't had their eyes opened long. It appears that I have two solid blues, two chocolate pointed and one blue pointed! They are so stinking adorable! Some of the mother's siblings were white, and I remember the owner saying that she had a BEW in the litter. I did not get a pedigree with my French Angora, but knowing the owner stated she had a BEW in the litter lets me know that my rabbit is most likely a Vienna carrier (VC). You can read more about that at Woolie Creations Angora Rabbits.

At first glance, I thought my French Angora was blue, but then I noticed some chocolate on the head. I'm not the best at labeling colors, so I try to eliminate the obvious. Her face is black. Maybe, she has some tort in her? My male English Angora did have tort siblings as well as solid black. I am happy with the colors of these babies; in fact, I love their colors! I will post pictures of my female French Angora soon.

FYI....rabbits will pull out their fur to make a nest for the babies. This is perfectly natural. If you are planning a litter, you will need to get a nesting box to put in your doe's cage a day or two before her due date. You don't want to put in too early or your doe will likely poop in it. Rabbits gestation period is 31 days on average.
