Question

Answer
Hi Angie.  No sweetie, I have many many colors in my Rabbitry and I LOVE to play with them - my favorite litters are what I call rainbow litters - but to be truthful I have never read a site about colors.  What I know form experience is that you can get a throw back color at least 7 generations down the line - then I sit down with my records and try to find out where in the world did THAT come from.  FUN !
