Ideation 8,216 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Its just a genetic mutation. If you look at a rabbits coat (agouti) you will see its made of many colours, including black, white, blue, sandy etc. All the coloured rabbits are, are a genetic mutation favouring one of these colours across the whole coat. Thats where the many colours in pet rabbits came from. . . . . if it want in them already you couldn't breed it in. Ive had blacks, whites, blues, gingers, and all kinds of spots, half coloureds etc etc. This has been done to death on here, and always the same daft answers.
