Dilution gene is a term for any one of a number of genes that act to create a lighter coat color in animals. so if you have say 2 blacks you should get black babies however if you breed black to say chocolate the babies will carry chocolate and black
this site explains it well Rabbit Coat Color - Rabbit Coat Color Gene D as i say im rubbish with gentics this is where you need becki from rabbit connection she is much better at it than me lol

selfs are one colour so chocolate , black, like blackbeard , doctor and tardis on my site
shaded colours are otter , opal and sooty like tink, george and barbosa and most of the nethies such as pixel and sportacus
agouti colours also come under none self this also include chinchilla colour which is like max , there are different agouti shades you can see this on willow,dalek sec and twinkle
rew is basically red eyed white like apple , james, dalek cann and piglet
yes 2 butterflys can produce selfs millies last litter had mini adidas the black butterfly she also had agouti
genetics never go to plan in my shed lol we have had a litterout of a black and agouti butterfly it was tardis and lola and they had opal , sooty and agouti in the litter totally unexpected lol
and anyone who is reading this and think i have totally lost the plot my kids name te rabbits not me !!!
