Odd colours

[Coneytrappr 30]

Was out for a while today clearing up some...a few about that are a bit small but if they've got to go then they've got to go.

Had these bolt from the same warren into the net at the same time with the fert right behind, certainly not the oddest rabbit ever seen but something a bit different.

 

 

This one couldn't have been more tangled if he tried

 

 

Let's see everyone's odd rabbits

Does anyone know if the variations in colour are due to escaped pet rabbits breeding with the other grey rabbits or is just nature throwing something random out every once in a while?

on local common ground by myself i have seen alot of mixed bred rabbits pure black,black and white etc etc i think it is due to people either realeasing them or escaped rabbits that have bred

Might be pet rabbits breeding them the wild ones.

[Guest Countryboyo]

Different colours occur naturally in the wild . How do you think our domestic rabbits today got their colours??? the coloured wild rabbits were caught and selectively bred to produce the different collours and breeds in domestic rabbits today. but it is also possible that escapee domestic rabbits bred with wilds to produce the coloured rabbit in the photo.

I leave the colourd ones alone to breed. the bit of variety in the field is nice to see.

seen a white one with a brown patch on it.

[Brimmer 220]

Its what we call a bluey, Occurs naturally like the blacks and the patched ones we call dutchys. They may have links to certain bloodlines 100's of generations ago, but occur quite a lot. Always nice to catch them.

Would prefer to be catching them when fully grown in a months time though.
