Fighting Females And What Color Do You Think The Babies Are?

22 11:04:43

Question
I have two Jersey Woolie does, and they aren't related, but were litter mates and still are. They are about 7 months old, and just this morning, I saw that one of them had fur every where. I opened the cage, and saw that the other female had ripped alot of fur from her side. Why do you think she did that? She has never been aggressive before, and they are both handled alot.
I have another question about rabbit colors. I have a black Jersey Woolie doe, and she had a kit about a week ago. The father is a Florida White. Her babies are, 2 pinks, 1 pink w/a few black spots around it's eyes, and the fourth one is all black. What colors do you think they will turn out to be? How can I cheak if one of my does is pregnant?  

Thanks, Shayla

Answer
Are you sure it was the other female? If the female that is missing fur could be plucking fur to make a nest. Even if you are sure she is not pregnant, she could be going through a false pregnancy.

Pink kits are either whites, reds, oranges, fawns, himalayans, or frosted pearls. Since the sire is white, it is likely that the pink kits are whites.

Pink with a few black spots might be a broken black.

The all black one is most likely a regular black.
