IN THIS VIDEO:
I mispronounce the word AGOUTI in this video.
The correct pronunciation is UH-GOO-TEE.
Sorry for that. We go over genetics and a little about line breeding which is how you can lock in positive traits and eliminate the bad ones. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching.

You went farther with this than anybody I've seen on yt... I wanted to be a genetic engineer, all these terms are right up my alley and I didn't even know rabbiters did this!!!!! So Awesome!!!!!!!!!!
I’m glad you like it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Like you, I did some independent study of genetics (some years ago when I was breeding horses). It’s both a fun and fascinating subject, especially when mutations occur and shuffle the deck. The neat thing with rabbits, is that with such a short gestation period, you get to see the results of your breeding program so much sooner-almost instant gratification when compared to horses (11 months). I found both your content and presentation excellent... and very glad someone already helped you out with the correct pronunciation of “agouti”... “allele” is the one I had a little trouble with at first, but you nailed that one 👍
thanks for the basics - genetics can be tricky, but people make it seem confusing - it really is not. Just an FYI - agouti is pronounced 'a goo tee.' In rabbits, it is considered the "wild-type' coloring. In cats, it is aligned with tabby.
Thank you for that goo tee rhymes with booty. Thanks for putting up with my mispronunciation. I promise to work on that in the future.
Thank you so much for well thought out and presented information- as always!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for all the educational videos
Again, thank you thank you thank you for sharing this!!! Really appreciate you sharing this information and saving us a lot of time and mistakes!
You are so welcome! Any and all mistakes go in the freezer. Thanks for watching.
Thank for a simple enough to understand genetic explanation
Thank you so much. I´ll watch this video 1 miljon times until my brain gets it :) Loved the white board!!!!! I plan to start breeding again in soon, so again thank you! Big hugs from middle of sweden :)
Glad it was helpful!
Which rabbit can i cross to get tri colour rabbit, cinamon and harlequin
Hay bud. that was some great information. Now you have me thinking about my herd. I'm new to rabbit breeding. Have a super day.
Thanks, you too!
Everytime you say agouti like that I die a little lol
Sorry about that... Stay strong 😉 I talk about that in this video czcams.com/video/slUWEtLa01Y/video.html
Really happy I found this channel, I hope to breed my rabbits (pets) and this info has helped me alot. Thank you from the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪
You’re very welcome thanks for watching
Thanks so much I really needed to know
Thank you soo much for Fast Response to my question on breeding. I will have fun and we'll be careful this video has helped and making my decision on how I want to breed and again thanks
You’re very welcome best of luck!
I am still learning the genetic process so this video helps. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
You explained this very well
Thanks
You're welcome. Thanks for commenting
Thanks, it is very comforting to know I can line breed! We are saving two beautiful baby does to breed back to their father. They are American and Champagne D'argent cross babies.
Champagnes and Americans are beautiful rabbits. I’m glad you liked the video. Thank you for watching!
You help me alot as a beginner in rabbitry..... thank you very much!!!
Happy to help!
Animals with the agouti gene will display two or more different bands of color on almost every strand of hair on their body. Rabbits with the agouti gene often have a lighter shade of hair on their belly that does not display the agouti trait. This trait gets its name from a rodent native to Central and South America. Cats with the agouti trait are called tabbies. Some dog breeds also have this trait.
That is one impressive set up! I am going to try the ramp/tunnel and totes concept this coming spring. Wish me luck! Haha
Good luck to you sir,
We have a step by step on how we built it if your interested
But the music got sold so we had to change the audio- I recommend just watching it at low volume

Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
Bobby , was at Chris the other day... I want some Bobby's bees honey. 😄
You got it man. You sure you wouldn't rather have your own bee nuc. 5 frames 165$. Comes with laying queen. I can get you started in May...
Great info, I've been doing rabbits for years and had no idea this was a thing. I breed for meat but I like to sell a few for pets so I have always liked to have a good selection of colorings. I do silver fox, new Zealand, and have had Californians. My last batch has what is called an Alaskan red fox, it's a really cool coloring. Thanks for the vid.
THanks for watching
I would love to own an Alaskan red fox rabbit, what a cool idea! Maybe I will try it out someday =) thx!
This helps a lot Bro. Thanks for the idea. God bless always
You bet. Thanks for watching!
Hey, thanks for this info.
No problem!
Wow, I got noticed... best regards from Cavite, Philippines ☺️
Great video
Thanks for watching & commenting!
Recently began rabbits we have nice rabbits my two Flemish are gorgeous plus the other nine. My boys both Flemish @6mo age one cinnamon other black agouti I think man said got from. So thx for info we be watching I do like ideas tunnels from crates great idea making for my boys play with . the cya@!
Wish could get them friendly cos not siblings n both bucks.. First run wasn't good but stopped it fast. Hoping will calm down now they met.
Thank you for this info. This makes alot of sense now that I can see it written. I'm very visual and hands on so the chart and tables really help to spell it all out. Thanks for making it plain. I have a broken and a Harlequin. I plan to breed in the spring. So what I gathered is that the Broken is the dominant of the two and that trait is going to be strong in the offspring...correct?
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome content 🐰🐇
Thank you! 🤗
Really enjoyed this video I’m a dog breeder and I breed rabbits too
Thank you for this information. I am just started raising rabbits and want to learn all I can before it’s tone to breed them.
I'm glad you found it helpful
Let me know if you need anything.
Thanks for watching!
Thank uuu soooo much for the informative ive just started my own Rabbitry I have 24 all together now Flemish mix there soo huge they just had there first batch and I couldn’t figure out how I ended up with a broken colour one now I know
So glad it helped
Rabbit genetics is a very interesting subject. Really cool. Just FYI... agouti is pronounced uh-GOO-tee. I don’t like to be “that guy” but though the correction might help you as we’re all on a quest for more knowledge. I really enjoy your channel and keep up the good work, man!
Thanks for the correction. I will be sure to work on my pronunciation. Uh GOO tee rhymes with booty.
2nd here.... btw New subscriber
Thanks for subbing!
Bobby does a lot of videos. Don’t just watch. Like and subscribe too … that’s it . 80% of some people’s fans don’t even subscribe. Help out the guy who’s helping you.
thank you for watching and your helpful comment!
Good info Bobby. We were wondering how we ended up with a solid blue, after breeding our broken black buck with a solid black doe.
I went through the same thing. Thanks for watching
Thanks for this Bob! I've learned alot. But 1 quick question. Is other characteristics like size, and growth rate can be predicted using this method?
Absolutely size and growth rate will be inherited by the offspring
You can always entertain the idea of cross breeding for an increased growth rate as well
Oh i understand it now. So the alleles doesnt represents where the offspring get their colors but other characteristics as well.
@@russeljamesalamer2332 right, he went over the a gene but like he was saying there's a b c d e genes, each representing a different thing (apparently)
Genetics?!?! Head is swimming, ha ha. Breeding NZ's first time next week - 2 bucks (white, red) and 4 does (white, red, broken red, chocolate). Excited as the broken red doe is a Charlie. Mating with NZR buck, hoping for nice broken reds. Chocolate is unrecognized but told many generations/colors to create. Plan to mate with NZW as I understand white has hidden allele/color.
Thanks for watching. I hope it goes well.
Genetics is so confusing. That you for helping me understand this better. I have two American Blue rabbits. I was told were pure breed and was given papers. The doe had her first litter of 7 two days ago. One of which is all white. What would cause this? I'm assuming one or both rabbits were not really pure breed and had American Whites in the bloodline.
This is the albino gene which is triggered from the C locus. When two rabbits breed that both possess a recessive c locus gene. This will cause all color to be hidden. Once this albino rabbit breeds with another rabbit the offspring will possess color unless the rabbit you chose to breed also possesses a recessive(hidden) albino gene.
Hi Rabbit Center, i would like to ask what can you say about hypharm ("genetically enhanced" ) rabbits. Its now prevalent here in our country. Appreciate your feedback.
I bred a pure bred Newzealand white doe to a pure bred newzealand white buck. And it resulted me in 7 bunnies ie 5 white bunnies and 2 black bunnies. Is this common for a black. Today they are 11 days old. Will the colour change as they grow older?
Great info. Is line breeding siblings ok? Or just mother to son / father to daughter?
Breeding siblings would be inbreeding and could cause issues with the litters. The reason for that is that they technically have the same genes .
It's the same genetic diversity. siblings are a half of a half. so 25% as well. You'll get rabbits with favorable and unfavorable traits as long as your willing to cull it can be done.
I have a black doe who's mom was black and her dad was white but I don't really know if she would be a heterozygous or a homozygous. From the two litters she has had most of the babies have been black a few white and some have had small white patches with spots of the agotui coloring.
It sounds like the two alleles are lining up to express black. Through test breeding you can find out what other alleles are in the mix. I'd research what the color is your getting and find what allele's are need to achieve that color.
We all raise rabbits for different reasons. They're a great addition to any property. Thanks for commenting.
There's very few cross-breeds that do well for pet sales, and the two most popular breeds of pet rabbit in America wouldn't be considered worth the time for meat. If you've got random/unknown farm type mixed rabbits, I wouldn't breed them or let them breed unless you like the meat and pelts plenty. Pelt buyers are also few and far between now, and picky, so unless you've got two pairs of Silver Foxes or are extremely cost efficient tanning those New Zealand pelts, there's probably not any profit in it. But a great skill to have for emergencies, or if you decide to go from meat to pets or do anything rabbit related. Knowledge is pretty fun on it's own.
Actually, I have a local business interested in buying all the babies to sell for pets or meat rabbits breeders. Have 3 litters set to kindle this week. And be weaned in time for Easter
As a side question, how do you get your rabbits to be more "friendly"? Does it all come down to handling? Or can it be personality? We have been raising rabbits for a little less than a year, solely for meat, but we love them and play with them and they have a good life.. but they are so skittish. One of our breeding does is very aggressive to the bucks and humans, but a great mom, so I wonder if that's something that is being breed into the babies? Does it work like that? I'm about ready to retire her because she's just so mean.
I had a doe like that. Not friendly even less friendly when she had a litter in the cage. Here's a video that shows how to handle her and it works. This method isn't for house pets. Only for farmers and rabbit Breeders.
czcams.com/video/z87T4Ebm2oY/video.html&t
I wouldn't cull her. I'd just try to handle her accordingly. Be sure to take her a treat when your inspecting the litter it makes things easier. If she lifts easily and produces well for you I'd try to keep her if possible.
Thanks Bobby that was great but does not show what colour New Zealands do i use to move towards steel please ?
The steel gene (Es) is part of the E locus and is
A hidden gene. Your rabbit can’t be steel if neither of the parents are steel. You’ll want to find yourself an agouti rabbit.

@@TheRabbitryCenter thanks so much
I have purchased a breeding trio of English Angoras and I understand about colors and wool types but since I haven’t shown rabbits I don’t know how to tell if the body type is good. They were from two reputable breeders so I’m just taking their word on it. I’ve read the standard of perfection so I know they don’t have any obvious disqualifications but it’s hard to tell body type on an angora when you are a beginner. Besides taking them to a show to be judged how do I know if I have the quality to breed them?
Good Question, If your breeding for just that reason I couldn't tell you. I breed rabbits for meat and to fill reservations helping folks get started with their own meat productions. Have you tried asking a facebook rabbit group? I bet you'd get about 50 good answers from very experienced and helpful people that show their rabbits frequently.
Sounds really confusing, but thanks for the info, we are just started a rabbitry
Every rabbit has 2 genes they can pass on. Mixed with the other rabbits 2 genes. How ever those rabbits genes mix up will determine the offspring's traits. Thanks for watching
Hey Bobby. Am just puzzled that in one of my litters that was born 3 months ago, some bunnies are twice the size of others. Half of them grew so fast but the rest fell back alot. Could you have experienced this? What could be the problem and how can I make the growth uniform
There will always be some rabbits that inherit different traits some better than other. It's important to rebreed those rabbits that present the favorable traits your looking for so you can improve your herd. Be sure to really pack on the food when the litter is growing. from 3 weeks old to about 6 weeks old I'm packing on the pellet. I remove mama at 6 weeks so she doesn't over eat the food I'm feeding to the kits.
Thanks Bobby. Last question..Could I breed a doe to the buck that fathered her? Because both have great traits?
I would really like to know how long the reservation wait should be. My dad has put a reservation for a chestnut doe rabbit (Leland Hays) and I have been waiting for the news we could go get her. My current doe is going on 4 years now and if I can't get her to atleast have a litter of does a few does I may need to buy another one to breed for my 4h project on time
We haven't had any chestnut does in our litters. I'd recommend trying to find another rabbit elsewhere if you want one immediately. I apologize for not providing you with one sooner. Our rabbits do take a while to get due to our Reservation list. That's why we don't take any money down. In many cases folks are so excited to start their production they end up getting their rabbits elsewhere before their rabbits are ready. So I really appreciate the fact that you were waiting patiently. We do have other rabbits if your interested. I just can't guarantee chestnut does in the near future.
@@TheRabbitryCenter im fine waiting gives me time to get some more practice breeding with the doe i have now and see if I can get a doe with good traits from her. But I may see if I can get an other buck but I need to make more room first.
What colors will happen if you breed a sable marten to an orange?
Hi, I'm very curious what will be the result if I breed my two holland lop with ruby-eyed albinism? Or if I breed my holland lop doe with ruby-eyed albinism to a colored holland lop. I'm very curious about this.
I would assume the albinism would be inherited by some of the offspring - If you try it - Please Let me how it turns out
@@TheRabbitryCenter Thank you for the reply. I will send an update here after a few months.
Hi Bobby,
I need your help once again.
One of our does gave birth last night. Though she had a ton of nesting material, she didn't build a nest, neither pulled any hair. I didn't expect her to be pregnant but still checked twice a day her cage.
Since many months it goes like this, I breed her and nothing happens...
Unfortunately all the kits (8!) died since it was freezing outside last night. She had the kits in her wooden box but they were all over the place.
I have put much effort into breeding rabbits and try to make their life as nice as possible... You can imagine I'm devastated.
My question is, when is it safe for her to be rebred and do you have any idea why she behaved like that? Food cannot be the issue, they get what you advise.
They have plenty of room in the cage and an extra 6 square meters to run if they want to.
Greetings.
Michaela from Greece
You can breed her immediately. She'll lift easily. If she's a new mom it's common for rabbits to get better and better at caring for their kits with every litter.
@@TheRabbitryCenter That's good news! Thank you very much for answering!
@@MP-uz5ks The one doe here that didn´ t make a nest i culled (she was old enough at 13 months for it not to be a to young problem). Experience from another breeder was that this indicates an inherited trait for being a bad mother, so cull. This breeder didn't at first (only like 3 generations later) and the does all lost the whole first litter, major part of the second and only started to have a decent ish survival rate at litter 3 or 4. The does kept for breeding from these litters had the same rate of loss and for the same reason.
Hi☺️ I started breeding rabbits only last November so I'm new at this. May I ask how much your Usa born and bread New Zealand white and Californian weigh please?
I personally only weigh rabbits after I've processed them. I get about 3.5-4lbs. after processing at 12 weeks.
Hi again 😁 I'm asking about the one's you use for breeding not the processed.
Hello i'd love to see a video about rabbit health and deseases
You bet, here you go

What are those rabbits eating @ 8:20? Are those rice? Can they eat rice still in the husk?
They are eating grains/whole oats
I buy a 50lb bag at TSC for around 20$
Some extra calories for grow outs and lactation for mama
Hi,
Can I breed rabbits that have same father but different mother's?
Thanks for everything you do, we are learning a lot from you
Yes you can when breeding two related rabbits you may lock in traits that you want and others may inherit traits that you may find indescribable. So be prepared to cull if needed
Would you not need to factor in the grandsire and granddam in your first breeding for line breeding? Since their genetics would be half of the sire and dams genetics.
I'm simply curious.
Grandsire is 12.5% diversity
With any line breeding you will need to prepare yourself to cull less favorable rabbits due to both traits good and bad being Accentuated.
When line breeding close relatives this Will bring out those traits faster so you can Eliminate them and breed those traits that are favorable. When breeding grandsire to granddaughter you may not even see these negative traits there’s several different ways to line breed it just depends on what your goals are. Better looking rabbits, More favorable genes or just meat production.
I have a chocolate chinchilla male and a smoke pearl female.
What colour babies are possible?
When you say smoke pearl, are you referring to sable point? Sounds like you have some recessive genes being expressed. I'm curious what your colors will be as well please keep me posted...
So I have a litter from 2 blue new zealand rabbits. Both parents had red patches and they had 2 kits that were basically ombre and they had tan kits too. There's one ombre kit, tan on top fading to blue, that has a white spot. What are your thoughts on that? Have you ever seen that before?
Sounds pretty cool looking.
Our blue had a little white Mohawk when she was younger but sounds like you have some recessive genes showing.
Do you belong to a rabbit Facebook group -id snap a pic and post - thousands of people can offer their opinions and advice. It’s fun let me know what you find out
What Facebook group are you apart of for new Zealands? I am just starting out and this is my first litter so I'm very new not even a year in!

Hello, how can you have a purebreed rabbit if you only have one purebreed rabbits...
Does a mix breed rabbit mate with a purebreed will result of F1? And does F3 rabbit breeds to F3 rabbit with the same Parents of F1 will result F4 or Purebreed rabbits?
If you breed a pure bred Rabbit with any Rabbit that is not purebred you no longer have pure bred offspring
That is a crossbreed
First generation will have a hybrid vigor
Agouti rhymes with booty.
I was just getting ready to comment on his pronunciation!
/ uh-goo-tee /
I love it LOL. Thanks Will, I appreciate you putting up with my mispronunciation of agouti. I'll be sure to work on it in the future. Uh-goo-tee. Rhymes with A-Booty
I won't forget.
Thanks Kathryn
Hi Boby
Hello
Can u mate a buck with its offspring🙂
Yes
You can breed for meat or favorable traits
But when line breeding there will be good rabbits as well as bad rabbits so prepare to cull rabbits the possess any unfavorable traits. Breed the best and cull the rest
