Hi, I got 3 new mini rexes and I don't know exactly what color they are. Any ideas?

Here is a little greyish female named Lila:
400


Here is a brownish female named Liza:

400


And here is my little male named Leo(I think he is otter):
400
 
Lila looks like a sun-faded Chinchilla. Chins have less black pigment in their coats than full-color Castor/Chestnuts, and fade pretty easily.

I'm going with Castor for Liza. Her color may intensify a bit as she matures, but it's not bad now.

Leo is a Black Otter.

They all look like they have sun-faded a bit; if you intend to show them, you might try to find a way to house them that won't expose them to direct sunlight. Indirect sunlight is necessary for a rabbit (their bodies manufacture certain vitamins when exposed to sunlight) but it can play havoc with coat color.

Nice rabbits!

Thank you so much! This makes me very happy because I thought the females might be oops colors! I thought the grey might be chinchilla because I took her on a trip to the pet store with me and 3 people thought she was a chinchilla, it was funny when I showed them she is actually a rabbit
