Could it be some kind of staining from sitting in their litter boxes (or whatever kind of toilet they have)?

 

[roberts_rabbits_2008]

No its not from urine or anything or from thelitter box type thing because the one is on the whole body and you cansee that its the hair turning color on all of them.

It's very normal. The color change canbe caused by an older coat, moult, urine bleaching the coat outorexposure to sun.

When they shed again, the orignal color should show through again.

 

[roberts_rabbits_2008]

Ok thanks MyBunnyBoys. How often do they usually shed?

 

[pamnock]

The color may sometimes change as the rabbitages. I've a few go through some rather dramatic colorchanges. The major moults are twice a year in the spring andfall. Temperature is also a factor with the himalayan markedrabbits.
