Ruby - "Red" 'Clear' Not really a 'eye color'  Thanks sneaky_dragon; Talia  Thanks Hero & X.Hayes  Thanks Benjamin/EBRR  source  source  source "Ruby-eyed whites, or REWs, are albino rabbits, and their red eyes are a product of their lack of melanin pigments.

Mottled or Marbled The above picture is an example of a mottled or marbled eye, but from a dove, source. "The chinchilla gene can mess with eye color. It can cause blue, blue-gray or mottled eyes in rabbits that are not dilute otherwise, and brown eyes in dilutes such as squirrels." - Rabbit Smarties If you have or know of any examples of rabbits with mottled or marbled eyes please let me know at web at vgr1.com, thanks! NOTE: Also Please contact Medirabbit as they are also looking for good mottled, sectoral heterochromia, and other eye anomalies examples. |
