Can you get rabbits with red eyes who have colour as opposed to being pure white? I was just thinking and don't think I've ever seen one. Or am I right in thinking that Jaysmonkeys Max (?) is whitey/grey and red eyed?
Himalayans
Yes i have one and they are called Lutino, a very rare mutation in rabbits.
The action of the gene partially dilutes coat color, and dilutes eye color to pink
Genetically she is a black.
Yes, of course!
Maximus has red eyes, he isn't Himalayan either. He's a German lop makimoopoo.
Roger also has pink/red eyes in every light. You can just about see here. They are very dark though.
No but some may look like they have red eyes in bright sunlight or in certain photo's. The only exception is in lutino rabbits, which have orange or fawn fur but pink eyes but they're incredibly rare
Imogens pupils are ruby, not just appear to be in certain lights, constantly. They also look like red eye in photos when lights shine directly on them, paired with her blue and blue/brown eye its strange. Dad calls her devil eyes :roll:
What a fascinating thread! :thumb:
I have quite often seen pics of red-eyed but coloured fur guinea pigs, but thought red-eyed rabbits were always white or himalayan.
I have often wondered how you get REWs in litters where the Mum has dark fur - would this mean Dad had white fur, or is the white fur a recessive gene both parents could have carried?
Hi Sidney and thank you. Maximus doesn't have dark feet and never has he's actually almost completely white in summer months. Is he still Himalayan?
I think when you refer to Siamese sable you are actually talking about my fluff Jemimah, Roger is the Dutch like lionhead. His eyes a you explained are continuously ruby no matter on light. The ruby is actually the pupil , the iris is the normal brown.
