Re: Albino kit

No reason why not - it's not a genetic defect, just another rabbit colour. There are plenty of red-eyed white rabbits out there, some breeds are based solely on this colour: New Zealand White, Blanc de Bouscat, and others. Most Polish rabbits are red-eyed white. It's also a popular colour in Angoras, Netherland Dwarfs, Satins and Rex. Lots of people love white rabbits.

Thanks. Mum was pure white when we got her but is now seal point, but hasn't got red eyes. Think it just came as a bit of a shock at first as I wasn't expecting it!

No, they were from pet shops/ garden centre. The kits were unexpected and I very much doubt I'd breed again for the simple reason of not know the last 4 generations of my rabbits.

Re: Albino kit

I always avoided red eyes buns as they scared me slightly but when my male bun died the rescue centre only had an albino who was male so I brought Sugar home and I've loved him dearly ever since. I like his eyes because they are deep and you can see into them so it makes me feel like I can see what he's thinking.

He has gone blind in one eye and the same will happen to his other eye so I do think this is a problem with albinos. He is happy though and still hops about as though he can see. He just uses his whiskers and hearing to get by.

Re: Albino kit

Hi, I'm just about to adopt a REW mini lop and while I've always said that red eyes on a bunny are quite scary, but when I seen him I thought he was lovely.

He was the smallest of his litter but has such a cheeky little personality that it's hard not to be won over by him!

Hope you find a lovely home for him, I'm sure someone will fall in love with him!

Kayleigh
