Please don’t multiply rabbits.
On the one hand, there are much too many rabbits who urgently need a new home (although only 150 rabbits are sitting at the shelter in Munich), on the other hand they endanger the health of their animals and risk sick young people if you don’t know well.

I assume that the eye color would be dominant-recessive inheritance that follows Mendelian rules. Blue eyes are recessive.
This means that if the brown-eyed animal were homozygous, all young animals would have brown eyes. If it is heterozygous, both eye colors could occur in the young animals.

As far as I know, you can’t pair two lion heads, otherwise the letal factor is inherited homozygot.

Yeah, with the letal factor you’re right when both dwarf rabbits are with dwarf gene. I hadn’t thought about it now because you often see bigger lion heads without dwarf gene.
Now I researched on “Kaninchenwiese.de” and also found this:
“Also blue-eyed rabbits (leasism) can have problems. They lack the melanocytes, i.e. those cells that are responsible, among other things, for the skin color and pigmentation of the eyes, the eyes seem blue due to the lack of coloring of the iris. However, the melanocytes also play an important role in the development of hearing capacity in the inner ear. If too few pigment cells are present or are missing completely, the hearing is not fully functional or the rabbit is born completely taub.”

I didn’t know! Especially as it is in the breeding of Dutch rabbits gang and goeves.

Hello 🤗🙋🏽

No way. Rabbits should not be multiplied. There are too many and you have to deal with genetics thoroughly.

Dear Greetings I hope I could help you

who has no idea of genetics and other basic things of breeding should not reproduce at all.
