Help with possibly ill rabbit, (dark ear tips)

Hi

I have two rabbits (White with red eyes) like this one , I think there's something wrong with one of them, It's very inactive and I noticed his eartips are kinda darkened unlike the other one, also they were much hotter,

Any help would be appreciated :)

Regards.
 
If he's inactive it may be that he's in pain. Can you pop him to the vets for a check over?
 
is bunny in question eating/drinking? Is bunny pooing?

When was the last time bunny was active?

If answer to either of top answers is 'no' you need to see a vet with some urgency.

He is eating, and pooing, but I'm only worried about those darkened ear tips, could that be a symptom of something?
 
Is it just the fur that has changed colour, or is it the skin?
Fur can change colour - it could be a himalayan colour coming through, where the extremities (eg ears, nose) are darker than the main body (like siamese cats).
If the skin has changed or there seems to be something else not quite right, it is worth getting a vet to check them over.

Thanks for the reply, bunny seems to be normal now, I checked the ears, it looks like the fur is changing color to black, not the skin.

Will check a vet, Thanks again :)
