What Color are my Holland lops?

[FirstTimeHollandOwner]

So I just recently purchased 2 little doe Holland lops from Facebook. The lady I bought them from originally bought them from a popular exotic pet store near by for her kids as an Easter present. Once she got them home she decided she didn't want them. She had no information about them. I don't even know their approximate age. I am fairly new to rabbits but I love them already. What color pattern do you guys think my girls are?

It looks like the blueish one he/she either a blue tort or blue magpie. The spotted one looks like she's a broken tort. It kind of hard to clarify, the pictures are a little blurry.

I'm so sorry my girls don't like to sit still. I think I got some better pics today.

The grey and white one is a 'blue magpie' and the other is probably a 'broken sable point' based on lighter coloring on the ears than a broken tort would have.

Thank you so much!!! I want to possibly get a buck for my girls later down the road. What color variation on a buck should I look for that would produce the cutest little babies?

First one is blue magpie. Second is a broken sable point. If you don't know the history on these rabbits, you should not be breeding them. They don't have good breed type or structure.

What part of their breed type or structure is bad to breed as pets?

@FirstTimeHollandOwner I'd recommend going through all the different threads and read up about owning buns. That's where you're going to get the most education and benifit from this website. Ask questions of course but definitely familiarize yourself with what it takes to own a bunny and give it THE BEST LIFE, in their forever home.
Your's are utterly adorable and by the look of it, young (under a year, but I could be wrong).
This being said, if you're going to keep them in the enclosure, I'd get them a litter box with some wood pellets and hay to cover because it looks like they use the whole space as a litterbox right now.

Also, please get them fixed as soon as they're ready so they have a better chance at a long life. Females can get cervical cancer more often if they are not fixed.
The other issue is them being so young, I'd take then for a vet (bunny savvy) wellness check to make sure of their sex. You wouldn't want an unexpected litter. There's enough bunnies already needing homes (as you witnessed with the last owner of your buns giving them up) they are a forever pet, not a for now pet.

Congratulations on your new fur family they truly are adorable

O wow I didn't know that! I did have a litter box in there and bought a huge pack of stall pellet bedding from tractor supply (recommended by another bunny group I'm on) but they wouldn't even go in it. I tried to sit them in there and they acted like they were scared. Right now their setup is temporary and I am trying to figure out what to do about their litter box problem so any advice is greatly appreciated. I'm not going to lie I loved the idea of having little baby buns hopping around from my girls but after really looking into it I don't think that is the route we want to go. They do have a vet appointment next Thursday for a checkup. Mostly because I suspect something might be going on with my little sable point. I don't know 100% if it's her or not but the last few times I have cleaned out their cage I am finding what looks like a big clump of bunny poop instead of little balls of poop. If that makes sense lol. I think at their appointment I'm going to ask about their spay. They are definitely girls though. I sexed them and just to make sure my husband (he has worked on his uncles farm raising animals since he was 10) and he confirmed that they are both girls thank goodness lol

@FirstTimeHollandOwner yes try putting hay over the pellets and put any stray poops into the box in one of the corners. Any pee accidents you dab up with toilet tissue and place in the box as well (this will help teach them to follow their scent to the box and where to go. For the mess left on the floor (if carpet, dab a damp cloth into vinegar then dab the spot. It take the smell out) if no carpet, use a spray bottle with a mist type setting to spray the area then dry up with a towel or tissue. DO NOT put this into the litter box) I added a photo of my buns litterbox at the start of the day. I clean it out every morning and repeat this look. I cover their wood pellets with a thin layer of hay so they don't feel the pellets under their feet. My buns will eat most of that this morning, and I just add little handfuls throughout the rest of the day.

For the clumped poop, I feel bunbun is having a case of too much of something or is not getting the nutrition needed and so I'd stop all food except hay right now.
It appears bunbun's tummy is not adjusting to something or may be I'll.
Once you get the poops back to buuny poop looking, then you can begin to introduce very small amounts of herds, romaine (never iceberg) and fruits.
You can find a list of safe and not safe foods in this website, I just can't remember where.

Good stuff on the sexing, just make sure to ask the vet to double check when you go. I was told by the people I got my last girl from that she was male as did the first vet. Second vet said no and so did the 3rd vet (the one I chose as my bunbun's vet, because he's also a rabbit rescue vet and you can't get more savvy than that).
