The fields are alive with rabbits at the moment, dozens of them everywhere.

While out with the dogs yesterday i saw 5 quite young ones all much the same to look at, apart from one.

This one had a white front right leg as far up as its shoulder.

I'm sure its a throw back to one of its ancestors getting together with a domestic/tame rabbit at some time, but was wondering if any of you guys have come across oddly marked rabbits on your travels.

all tame rabbits come from wild rabbits so any color you can get in tame you could get in wild we get a lot ginger, few whites and blacks plus the wild color can have white marking,called the dutch... also get a few with long hair, but there is a field near the town of oswestry , where it seem the un-wanted pets get dumped , seen lops and even a rex rabbit , and all shapes and colors

Maybe they had been tangoed, lol. i remember coming across a couple of very strange light tan coloured rabbits with blue eyes. These were indeed wild rabbits that were in all the right proportions but just a different colour. I assumed that they were interbred with a tame bunny that had either escaped or was set loose.
