What color am I?

[LindseyG]

Furby the English angora.
Sorry that the breeder has only cell phone pics. He is the darker one on the left

darker one on the right

and now

My guess is chestnut agouti

My guess is fluffdorable! No idea but I love him!

 

[woahlookitsme]

If it were to be chestnut agouti wouldnt it have more black ticking even for an angora? I found this awesome angora kit colorguide maybe you can find something but im not sure. Do you know what the parents were?

If i had to guess i think i would lean towards chocolate agouti

With that blue tint, but it could be just the photo, but if its there I would say Furby is a Chocolate Tort. Jealous. That's what I'm hoping out of Neville and Luna.

I love Furby's coloring.

Your right I believe he is chocolate agouti. Thank you. I looked at that page but dont know why I didnt see that.

 

[Samara]

LOVE those EARS!

 

[LindseyG]

Thanks! Yes I do absolutely love the english angora ears. They are my favorite thing about them.

 

[LindseyG]

I emailed bumblebee acres yesterday and got a response back just now that he does look like a chocolate agouti.

 

[ZRabbits]

Glad you got a call from the breeder to truly verify color. Looked like Chocolate Tort to me but I guess you need to blow the coat to actually see the agouti coloring.

He's pretty though.

Thanks Karen, yes Angora are much different to tell color on. The only "true" color on the rabbit is the nose! Sometimes you cannot tell after they are grown the easiest time to tell is when they are babies and have short hair. The long hair dilutes the coat.

And lest we forget, CUTE!!

I have no input on the color, but I love those ears!!! I'm just glad it's you doing all the grooming and not me. LOL Too cute!

 

[LindseyG]

Thanks! To me the grooming is relaxing! It is only less than 10 minutes a day or every other day per bunny. When they have been plucked/harvested about every 90 days, they are very manageable and hardly have to be brushed for a few weeks until the hair grows back longer again. Pumpkin the Satin angora hardly needs to be groomed her hair is very low maintenance, I couldn't say the same about the english angoras. Its really not as hard as what some people make it out to be though. English are like puppies very sweet and calm, you can do anything with them, they don't react to being brushed or flipped over and are so calm and docile.
