Sorry for your loss. I take it he's cremated and his urn is on your desk? Or did you mean his computer since yours is having issues? Sorry. I'm a bit slow on the uptake sometimes.

Is castration an option?

Good to see you post about your rabbits. I am trying to learn rabbit color genetics to produce tricolor. So much different than chicken color genetics. I get such confusing answers. Everyone talks Allee letters but I feel they do not understand them very well.My calculations do not mach theirs. Litter due 2/15. I will then see the outcome.

I certainly did not expect them to throw white kits... I assume they are both carrying recessive genes that produced white fur and red eyes (albino).

I guess that means I should also assume the ones that are NOT albino are still carrying albino genes.

In a few weeks, I'll be picking up another little doe. She has a light Harlequin coloring. It'll be interesting to see if she also throws any kits with albino coloring.

I guess coloring ultimately won't matter for meat rabbits, but the red eyes have always creeped me out a little bit.
