Hi,

Yay, i'm getting these 2 tomorrow, they are brothers and they stay in a shelter.
I just want to make sure the lighter one is lilac, cause i've never seen a lilac in real life.

I'm almost pretty sure it's lilac because it doesn't look blue and the eyes are unusually bright.

Just need a confirm from you guys! :thumb:

I think you have the Lilac correct. I think it is a self, but it kind of looks tort.

Here is a link to Rabbitcolors showing (self) lilac.

Here is a link showing lilac tort.

looks regular self lilac to me. The interesting one is the bluish tinge on the chocolate's face.

Yay, i'm so happy!

Now i'm able to start my chocolate project!
I already have a chocolate doe so she will be bred by one of the 2 brothers.
But which one should i use first? Who looks better in your opinion?
The lilac looks to have a blockier head or not?

Here is my choc doe in the front, she lost a lot of fur during the winter but she is looking better every day.

Yup, a choco and a lilac. The lilac does look a little funky, but rather than being a lilac tort it looks like he just is a bit sunburned/needs to molt/has pee face.

Very attractive bucks! I would wait until you get them to choose which one to breed your doe to first.
