Question
Hello,
I was wondering if you could tell me what color my baby dutch bunnies will be. I have a male dutch that is black with the white band around the center of his body, and I have a female dutch that is steel with the white band around the center of her body. I am trying to breed them so if you know about what color the babies could be please let me know. Thank you so much.

Answer
The white band is completely normal for Dutch. Black to steel will usually result in black, steel, and sometimes grey (similar to chestnut agouti in other breeds). If both carry other colours, though, it is possible to get more colours. Blue and chocolate would be the most likely hidden colours, though tortoise, gold, and even tricolour (harlequin) are possible, though not very probable.
