![]() ![]() They are warmly welcomed for the long-lasting durability with high shine. If you want the freedom to have your desired color for three weeks without any nail damage upon removal, shellac is the go-to manicure for you. When I bred her, though, and half the babies also had white spots or white nails, she and the litter all went to a cull buyerĪnother thing to add, which I didn't see before - if the sire is broken I'd say it's even more likely it came from him.Shellac nail colors have been considered a revolutionary invention in the world of the fashion industry. ![]() Ended up showing her just for fun and she got three legs (but I never registered her). but had three toenail colors on one foot (white, horn and dark). I used to raise harlequins as well, which are probably one of the worst breeds for toenail color DQs, and I had one rabbit that was nearly perfectly marked. I've had to cull a few otherwise nice rabbits for white nails. I used to breed shaded NDs and I'd get white toenails from time to time, but never got any eye color problems or white spots. If you start seeing blue eyes (and its a breed with the vienna gene present, and no dutch gene) then it's pretty safe to call it VM imo, but with just some white nails and no history of vienna I wouldn't probably even think about it. Vienna isn't as common in JW as it is in other breeds, and there are other genetic causes for white toenails. Personally I wouldn't be quick to say it was a vienna mark. But they are more common in JW than some other breeds so you should be able to find some pretty good quality shaded JW out there. Shadeds generally don't place as well as selfs in many breeds, largely because of the lower numbers and the fact that they don't breed true (throwing rew's and seals). Sometimes you hit the jackpot in type and it might be some time before you got another rabbit as good or, you might get an entire litter of them next breeding. If not you could keep her until you get a replacement. Are you planning on showing? If so cull her and rebreed and hope for a similar kit without the white toes. ![]() A white toe nail would be easily covered by broken. This you could test breed for if you really wanted to but it's the least likely of the options unless you've had other indications in your litters such as blue eyes or larger white patches.Ĥ) An injury caused the toenail to turn white.ĭoes the dam of this kit have any white toe nails? If not and it is indeed genetic, it's most likely to have come from the broken sire. It would be very difficult to test breed for it.ģ) Very minimal Vienna expression. It could potentially vary in expression from white feet to no expression at all. Because all white patters have variances in expression, it's possible it's a small white modifier gene. There's just no way to know.Ģ) It's a modifier that causes the white toenails but it might not show up on all the rabbits who carry the modifier. It could potentially have been something as minor as extra cold temps during gestation. Because it's one of the last places, it's possible that something environmental caused the pigment to not reach the toes. Toes are one of the last places for pigment to be deposited during development. There are a few things that could be happening.ġ) It's just a fluke and not genetic at all. My spouse already claimed a reject wooly and that’s all the room for pets we have.ĭo I get rid of this gorgeous little doe, and potentially her mom to not perpetuate this genetic flaw? Do I keep mom and just hope she doesn’t throw another like it? Never breed these two together again? I have a small rabbitry, and no room for DQs or DQ producers. Every thing from “it’s the Mom, get rid of the mom or you’ll always have this problem” to “She’s genetically a broken with a white spot on black because it’s more than just one toenail, so keep her and breed her because she’s so typey.” It’s not skin or hair that’s white, it’s three toenails on a hind foot. I have gotten several conflicting comments about this bunny. I can’t keep a DQ, but my bigger worry is if I have a hidden genetic problem on my hands. The best bunny of the 5, the self black doe.she’s got 3 white toenails on one foot. (Dad has had a subsequent litter with another doe, another 5 bunnies with 3 broken and 2 REW from a REW mom and none have mismatched toenails) Both have substantial wins on the show table, however this is the first litter for each. Mom is black otter, Dad is broken Siamese Sable. Nicely marked brokens, too, but the clear winner is the self. Of the five, the only self is a gorgeous black doe. Litter of 5 jersey wooly, born late November. ![]()
