Carol's Cute French Angora Bunnies




Carol's 7 French Angora bunnies are growing really well.  



There are three chestnut agouti, three chocolate agouti and an opal.  Mom is a fawn and dad a chocolate agouti.   Genetically, Mom Shelby is a black based fawn so the B gene in chestnut comes from mom,  dad Dasher is a chocolate agouti that cannot carry the black gene G.   Both parents must have carried chocolate gene b to produce the chocolate agouti and both parents must have carried dilute gene d in order to produce the opal. The E gene required to produce all these babies must have come from dad Dasher as Shelby is a fawn that carries non extension gene ee. 
  


The opal.

The dark chestnut.  



The light chestnut.   Both the dark and light chestnut have the same color genetics, but the mysterious modifiers make the appearance darker or lighter.



The chocolate agouti.

With 7 in the litter, it's obvious that Carol cannot keep them all.  If you wish to add a cutie to your herd, contact Carol at hoploppitry@yahoo.com   
Both parents are grand champions.     I heard there are quite a few girls in the litter!
