Hey guys, when we first got our mini lop she was a lot darker than she is now, and her fur has seemed to lighten, however around her back the fur is the same colour, is this normal? I'll attach some photos of her below... thanks in advance <3 (the first photo is a baby one, and the second was taken last week)

My rabbit has changed color. When I first adopted her, she was gray, black, brown and white. Now 6 months later and winter coat shedding, the brown in her fur has disappeared and she has new markings.
 
I think Odin didn’t change that much except he had a white spot on the forhead just like wild bunnies but that spot disappeared when he got older. Might not be that much changes when it’s agouti color.

I know that a few fur color truly change when the bunny go from a kit to adult. They will look totally different ☺️

Yes, some bunnies do change color. Mine was a lighter bunny, now she has turned to a black color. When she sheds, she gets lighter again though.
I love this picture of Odin 😍 😍 😍 😍 His nose is so cute!
