Mommy is a sable chinchilla and daddy is pure black. Also yes some have 1 eye open lol the little brown one has both they are so cute

 

[polly]

aw glad their eyes have opened alright

 

[Sterling Lop Rabbitry]

The black ones hasnt opened his yet, what should i do?

 

[polly]

you could give them a bathe with tepid water use from a kettle and let it cool right down. itg may just be slower if the rest are open give it another day just in case maybe he is lazy

 

[Sterling Lop Rabbitry]

should i just go over it with a paper towel with some warm water?

 

[polly]

I just use a bit of cotton wool its nice and soft esp if u make it soggy with the water

 

[Sterling Lop Rabbitry]

ok ill definitly try these things also the cage NEEDS cleaned, should i just put them in a box or kitty carrier and put them in the house while i clean?

 

[polly]

yup are they out of nest now? I had to get a carrier the nethies are a nitemare if you put them on a table top they throw themselves off very like lemmings!! keep any nice dry fur to put back in nest again though

 

[Sterling Lop Rabbitry]

nope they are still in the nest they arent even running around lol

 

[polly]

is the nest wet or dirty? if it is clear out and put back with fur then if its pretty clean for the 1st week I just clean the cage around the nest and leave nest well alone.

when you have them picked out just have a look and feel

 

[Sterling Lop Rabbitry]

its just really dirty and eww like i have redone the nest twice already and they have been fine, im only going to do the 2 week old litter though

 

[polly]

oh yeah good clean out then lol they can be mucky little things!!

 

[Sterling Lop Rabbitry]

lol alright ill get down to doing that in a few minutes

 

[NZminilops]

Aww, they are so cute!

Sooty fawn = black tort, by the by, not sure if anyone pointed that out. Sooty fawn is a UK term generally. I'm pretty sure you'd say black tort in Canada.

They are so cute, how are they doing?

 

[Sterling Lop Rabbitry]

they are pretty good, accept one go take a look at my other post and tell me what you think the link is http://rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=44310&forum_id=8 i dont know what to do :/

 

[NZminilops]

Hmm that does seem odd, I hope someone who's experienced that before can offer you some good advice!

Just wanted to post my pics of the sooty fawn/black tort kits I had, just because they were so cute! I am sure your kits are too pale and they have all that white, so must not be tort.

This really shows the colour pattern quite well:

 

[Sterling Lop Rabbitry]

hmm they definitly arent tort then they are way to pale, hmm is there a differnet kind of tort? like a lighter variety maybe
