Jack's-Jane
Wise Old Thumper
The breeder who volunteers there (yes, you did hear right!) is very clued up on genetics and said the colour and type for the younger rabbits could well be off-spring of the older rabbits who were dumped, which seemed the logical conclusion. This would mean that his mother is an uppy eared English cross and his father is a rather smaller helicopter lop. So the inbreeding theory is unlikely. Ruth was baffled by what I was telling her and felt there was 'more information' that was missing. Given that his sisters have been spayed it seems more logical that he/she had also already been done, though the vet that operated seemed to be confident of what he saw (or didn't see!). .... curiouser and curiouser.
His colour is opal apparently, which is what I've always believed Elijah to be.
The plot thickens !!
