I have a 3 week old rabbit kit that looks like it has patches on the inside of the ears? I’ve only seen this one other time in a previous litter, but the baby was a fader and died at 5 weeks old.
I have pictures of the 3 week old attached.

So if anyone has an idea to what this is, I’m super curious and I haven’t seen anything similar in other rabbits before. Even if it’s just a cool color pattern, It’d be nice to know!

Thanks to all you lovely rabbit people out there :)

Usually the areas with darker skin color indicate that dark hair will grow there. You don’t see it as often on the skin in the ear but I wouldn’t worry about it.

Oh ok, in the years I’ve been raising rabbits I haven’t come across anything like this before. I guess I have a new page to add to my mental rabbit encyclopedia Lol
Thank you!
