BACKGROUND:
Eduard was born at the EBBR from a rescued mother that was pregnant. Was mainly fostered by Kimberly & Carylon at the time. He was born in Kimberly's office.
Himalayan: "They have dark ears, front feet (socks), hind feet (boots), a dark tail, and a dark spot on nose (egg). The markings change with age and environment. The colder weather may darken markings, enlarge markings, and also add markings around the eyes and genitals (vent smut)."
REW is a "genetic deviation" caused by a lack of melanin, which is a vital pigment that gives all creatures, including humans, their skin/ fur/ hair/ eye color.
Therefore his eyes have no color. What you see is the color of the blood vessels within the eye. You can see examples of different eye colors in rabbits here.
