You can never expect a pure white coat to stay completely clean.
Or if you have newspaper down in their area, they might get grey stains on their feet from the newspaper ink.
The bottom of their feet might be just slightly yellow from sitting in their litter box. You may notice the rabbit’s fur is stained a little more visibly than other rabbits. Even their grooming should be exactly the same as any other rabbit from the same breed. This includes their diet, enclosure size, exercise time and more. Their basic care should be exactly the same. Do rabbits with red eyes need special care?įor the most part, albino rabbits are the same as any other rabbit. More recently, albino rabbits have been bred as laboratory animals due to the genetic similarities between individuals in the breed. Originally this trait was considered ideal because it created whole lines of rabbits that were beautiful and pure white. Red-eyed white rabbits have had surges of popularity over the years. This albinism gene can occur in the wild, though rare, but it has been specifically bred into pet rabbits. Albinism, however, overrides any other genes that would act as a signal for the rabbit’s eyes and coat to produce a color. The rabbit’s genes will produce a pigment that reflects certain wavelengths of light, making a visible eye color. So let’s look a little deeper into albinism in rabbits. In fact, many have been specifically bred to be gentle and easy to handle rabbits. The appearance of the red eye comes from a reflection of the inside of the rabbit’s eye, not the color of their iris.īut don’t worry, red eyed rabbits (or any animal, for that matter) do not have any increased tendency to be aggressive. With a couple rare exceptions, the rabbit’s bodies are entirely devoid of color. Why do rabbits have red eyes? Red eyed rabbits occur as a result of albinism. Normally her eyes are almost pink in color, but then the light hits her eyes just right, they almost seem to glow red. Ever since I got my sweet bunny, Elusive, I’ve been pretty curious about red-eyed rabbits and where they come from.
