Firstly, I <3 genetics and I'm pretty versed on rabbit coat genetics, so feel free to speak in fancy terms. You won't confuse or scare me. I've taken several genetics classes as a micro student so again. Big words don't scare me, lol.
My question is this:
Today, a lop/Californian cross came into the rescue. He had a diluted brown-beige color that was cream-colored near the base of the hair shaft. He was darker on his nose, ears, paws etc.
What intrigued the living crap out of me is this: the pupil of his eye was ruby red, JUST LIKE a REW or Himalayan would have. It wasn't a red cast....it was ruby red. The iris of the eye was an amber-yellow-green color.
What in the heck could this rabbit be????? I have never seen it before. I know that some colors have a ruby cast to the eye, but this wasn't a cast, this is total and complete red. Knowing what this rabbit could be is absolutely positively essential to my being able to sleep at night- otherwise I will be obsessively trying to figure it out.
Help?? Thank you.
