It is very enlarged / zoomed in so I could show the eye color.

I would wait a bit.. sometimes babies have funky eye colors for a while.

Yea, the last litter had 2 with funky eye colors. I was looking back at their's & their buck's pics when I realized the Frosty was really close to the same shade as their buck that is an Opal. I was kicking myself a bit because I let her go & she was the only dilute produce here. If this kits color is dilute it will be great because it is not related to my other bloodline that carries dilute.

Eyes have been open 13 days, while not as blue they have kept a gray tent. My son says they are dilute like our Opal's. This would be an unexpected result as the buck & doe's parents have not produced a dilute, but we were only able to get one litter from the buck.

:whoa: , Sidd, you were right about eye color. They started turning a gold & then brown within this week. 3 1/2 months old for eye color to develop. Is that common? The eye shades and Wide band gene are the genetic areas I still don't really understand. ^o)

I'm not sure if it's common.. if I have babies with light eyes they usually become normal by around 8 weeks. Recently I had a sable point baby with eyes that were nearly blue.. the new owner said that they appear to still be the same. I wonder if his will turn out normal too..

Is it possible your sable point was a blue point?

That's what I thought too, but both of Tu's (the mom) parents had been bred to dilutes many times without giving any dilute babies.. and Tu was bred to a dilute carrier once as well. So I really don't think so.
