Desktop: Open Rabbits, click a rabbit, then stay on General and scroll to Genotype.
Mobile: Tap the menu button, open Rabbits, tap a rabbit, then stay on General and scroll to Genotype.
- A rabbit profile with a breed and color or variety entered.
- At least partial genotype information if you want to save a custom genotype mapping.
Overview
- The Genotype section helps you save known or likely color genetics for a rabbit. It can support color prediction and make repeated custom colors easier to work with over time.
When To Use
- You know part or all of a rabbit genotype and want it saved on the rabbit profile.
- You use custom color names and want Rabbitry Run to remember the genotype normally associated with that saved color.
- You want to review or refine a suggested genotype before using it.
Step-By-Step Guide
1
Follow this action exactly in the Use The Rabbit Profile Genotype Section workflow.
Enter the rabbit breed and color or variety in General first. Suggested genotypes use those fields plus any saved color genotype mappings you have created.
- The page should remain in the same workflow and be ready for the next step.
- You should be ready to continue to the next step.
2
To save a custom color for future dropdown use, type the color in Color / Variety and click Save Color.
- The page should remain in the same workflow and be ready for the next step.
- You should be ready to continue to the next step.
3
Review Suggested Genotype when it appears. A suggestion may come from a saved color genotype, a breed-variety match, or a common phenotype pattern.
- The page should remain in the same workflow and be ready for the next step.
- You should be ready to continue to the next step.
4
Click Apply Suggested Genotype only when the suggestion matches what you want saved on this rabbit. Unknown loci can stay blank.
- The page should remain in the same workflow and be ready for the next step.
- You should be ready to continue to the next step.
5
Use the main genotype controls for common loci first. These are the fields most users need most often for practical color tracking.
- The page should remain in the same workflow and be ready for the next step.
- You should be ready to continue to the next step.
6
Use Save genotype for this color when the current genotype should become the remembered mapping for the current Color / Variety value. This also saves that color to your quick color list.
- The page should remain in the same workflow and be ready for the next step.
- You should be ready to continue to the next step.
7
Use Update saved genotype for this color when you have improved or corrected a mapping you already saved.
- The page should remain in the same workflow and be ready for the next step.
- You should be ready to continue to the next step.
8
Use Show Other Genotypes to expand additional loci that are less commonly needed. Leave them blank unless you intentionally track those genes.
- The page should remain in the same workflow and be ready for the next step.
- You should be ready to continue to the next step.
9
Use the predicted phenotype text as a helpful check, not as a guarantee. Real breeding outcomes still depend on the accuracy of the genotype data you enter.
- Your rabbit has the genotype details you know, and your saved custom colors can suggest the right genotype faster on future rabbits.
- Your rabbit has the genotype details you know, and your saved custom colors can suggest the right genotype faster on future rabbits.
You're Done When
- Your rabbit has the genotype details you know, and your saved custom colors can suggest the right genotype faster on future rabbits.
Common Mistakes
- Applying a suggestion without checking whether it matches your rabbitry knowledge.
- Forgetting to save a custom color before expecting it to appear as a quick pick later.
- Filling every expanded genotype field just because it is available.
FAQ
What does Suggested Genotype mean?
It is the app’s best available match from saved color mappings, breed-variety patterns, or common phenotype rules. Review it before applying it.
How do I save a custom genotype to a custom color?
Type the color in Color / Variety, enter the genotype fields you know, then use Save genotype for this color. The app also saves that color to your quick color list.
What is Show Other Genotypes for?
It opens additional less-common loci for users who track more detailed genetics. Most everyday records can leave those fields blank.
When To Contact Support
- The workflow does not match the guide even after you confirm you are in the correct section.
- Saving or loading fails repeatedly in this area of the app.
Still Stuck?
If the guide got you close but the app still does not match what this tutorial says should happen, contact support and mention the article title, the exact step where you got stuck, and what you saw instead.
