Looks like a rainbow litter of Jersey Woolies. Can you help me out here and tell me what colors these babies are? I thought a had a solid blue, a solid white and three lilacs, but today two of them have a gold sheen to their coats, one being darker then the other.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

They could be torts or even blue torts. But if the parents do not have the dilute gene then I would say tort. They look like they have the darker sides like a tort would. Let\'s see what other people think? They are cute any way you look at them. : )

I agree with Tony. Looks like a couple of Torts in there.
Charlcie
Just looked over thier parents pedigrees Mom is a Smoke Pearl, her sire a chocolate, her dam a Ruby-eyed white, then there is smoke pearl martin, silver martin-choc, Blue, orange, silver martin-lilac, blk, broken blk.
On the sires side, Dad is a blue, his sire is smoke pearl martin, his dam blue, then orange, silver martin-lilac, blk, broken blk, chestnut, pointed white-blk, chocolate, ruby eyed white, and broken opal.
Does that help any?
Yep. The gene modifier that gives you the siamese shading (ee) will also give you torts if combined with self colors (aa), the rufus modifiers found in the orange and chestnut agoutis also plays a factor. The dilute modifier (dd) which your opal, smoke pearl, and blue contribute, allows the option of blue torts as well as black, since you have dilute modifiers appearing on both sides of the pedigree.
It\'s hard to be accurate from the pictures, but it looks like you have a Blue, 2 Torts (blue), 1 Opal, and 1 REW (ruby-eyed white). The REW could really be a Smoke Pearl as the pigmentation sometimes takes a while to develop. Time will tell.
Colors are fun, aren\'t they?

Yes!
I was thinking the same thing about the white one Charlcie, about it being a possible smoke pearl. We shall see. I will post more pics as they get bigger. Thanks for your help. You too Tony, it\'s much appreciated.
I have no idea on the colors, but they sure are cute! Guessing and figuring out the colors is half the fun!
Boy do they have a rainbow of colors on the pedigrees! You could end up with about every color possible with different breeding partners. I still am leaning towards the tort or blue tort on those 2 especially. In holland lops I know that is a very common color. It seems no matter what you do they just pop up in every litter somehow? With the pictures we will be able to tell better as they progress. Now I need to figure the picture thing out and post a few of our tri color mini rex babies. Maybe I will let my wife do that,HA!

Tony, I\'d love to see pictures of your tri mini rex babies. If I can figure out how to post pictures, then anyone can.
Oh your going to torture me some more Tony!!!! Gee Thanks, you know how much I want Tri mini rex and there you go showing off your Tri babies....your down right mean! Mean I tell you, evil to the core.
But, oh OK, post your Tri baby pics....I REALLY would love to see them!
I wish I lived closer to you guys, I\'d love to have a couple of your Tri\'s.
