could elvis be a sallander fox buck?

[juju]

hi i have 2 mini lop buns and found a pic this morning of a sallander fox buck as you can see elvis has simalar markings, do mini lops get these markings too? he was sold to me a s a mini lop and is roughly the same size as priscilla my female bun?

Whooooo... ok you guys confuse the heck out of me over there... lol

Sallander fox...isn't that a color? Sallander is a breed...right? So I am think that he would be a mini lop that is sallander fox colored. ??????

But to me actually...he looks like a sable point color wise...but I dont know what that is called over there.

Are you as confused as I am? lol

i just checked out some pics and it looks like you could be right :highfive:have you bred mini lops? if so can you take a look at my pics and tell me if you think i will get some nice babies from my buns? although i hasten to add i dont want to breed them just yey as they are only 6 months old :bunnydance:

Well the breeds here in the US are usually very different than your breeds in the UK. So I don't think I would be able to help you.

Sallander is both a breed and a color. I've haven't heard of a Sallander Fox, so I don't know what those look like.

Priscilla could probablybe called either a sallander butterfly or seal point butterfly. (keeping in mind that I'm no expert on the UK varieties.)

In the US, we'd call her a broken sable point.

You want to breed them when they are around 6 months. You dont want to breed when they are older then 1 yrs old..

You don't want for a does first litter to be after she is 1 year old because her pelvic bones can fuse.

so are you saying you cant breed after they are 1?:?.

 

[Silver Star Rabbitry]

No. You can breed them until they are 4 or 5 but you want for their first litter to be born before they are one year.

Actually, the pelvic bones "fuse" on all mammals This has no relevance on breeding.

If your looking into breeding, then I suggest you start your own thread where you can ask all the questions you have about breeding. Sounds to me like you still need to do a lot of research before you decide to breed.
