A Polish Bunny With "Weird" Color
.JPG)
The red eyes of this Polish bunny are not totally caused by the camera's flash; the color of the eyes are quite red; not as red as an albino but red enough to be called red.
A colored rabbit is not supposed to have red eyes. What is the color of this bunny? The parents of this bunny are both chocolate; it will be quite possible that this rabbit is a lilac if both parents carry the dilute gene. Lilac could have some ruby glow in the eyes but certainly not that red.
After much discussion and guessing, it is most likely that this bunny is a lilac sable and the choc parents either both carry the sable gene or one or both of them are actually chocolate sable. Since sable gene is recessive to the full color gene, it could stay hidden for many generations. Neither lilac sable nor chocolate sable is an acceptable color in Polish or in other breeds.

We have a breeder who is having Dutch that look similar to that rabbit pop up in his litters, always out of the same rabbits. They have the pink eyes, then the color is similar to that, with the white for the markings. He calls them "Creamello's". They come from two Blacks, that he says only have Blacks in the background for 17 generations.
Last week at a rabbit meeting, a judge and I were talking about them. She raises both Dutch and Polish. She said her grand daughter found in a Polish book, Polish rabbits with that same coloring.
Find it interesting. Going to have to send your link to the judge.
