I thought it would turn out gray or something.

Answer 1

A great many rabbits are brown.  If its ancestors are brown it is likely to be brown.  Parents are only part of the story.  Other ancestors contribute too.

Answer 2

Its very common, as the babys colour is Chestnut agouti, The wild rabbits are more of a steel grey(normally),Like often i find i breed two red eye white rabbits(Albino) together the result are often black or agouti!!!!!!!! Its just the way it is..

Hope this helps in some way!

Answer 3

wow that is cool! I love color gens!...my best guess is that the parents are carrying an agouti gen. or atleast a banded gen like a red or a fawn could produce agouti...it is hard to know what you could get unless you have the pedigree on your rabbits.
