Gene
Albino (c) is the bottom allele of the rabbit color gene, TYR. Two copies stop all pigment, giving the ruby-eyed white (REW) with a white coat and pink eyes, and the albino hides whatever other color genes the rabbit carries. It is recessive to every other allele at the gene and is caused by a single amino acid change in TYR.
Albino (c) is part of the Color series: Full Color (C), Chinchilla (cchd), Sable (cchl), Himalayan (ch), Albino (c). It shows only with two copies and is hidden by Full Color (C), Chinchilla (cchd), Sable (cchl) and Himalayan (ch).
Studies of albino rabbits have reported altered visual pathways and a different reflex eye response to moving visual patterns than in pigmented rabbits. These findings do not establish how much an individual rabbit's everyday vision is affected.
Blue-eyed white comes from Vienna, a different locus from albino. Crossing the two can produce colored young, but the result depends on the alleles both parents carry; neither white appearance identifies all their other color genes.

Guides and articles for Albino (c) rabbit owners.
Most people can buy a pet rabbit for somewhere between $20 and $100 from a shelter or rescue, and roughly $30 to a few hundred dollars from a breeder depending on the breed. That is the easy number, and it is also the least important one. The honest truth about rabbits is that the animal […]
A healthy rabbit diet is mostly grass. Give your rabbit unlimited fresh grass hay as the foundation, roughly 85 percent of what it eats, add a small measured portion of plain high-fiber pellets, offer a daily handful of washed leafy greens, and keep clean water available at all times. Everything about a rabbit’s body, from […]
Rabbits are pregnant for about 31 days. The Merck Veterinary Manual gives the rabbit gestation period as roughly 31 to 33 days from mating, so a doe bred on the first of the month will usually kindle (give birth) around the start of the next one (Merck Veterinary Manual, Management of Rabbits). That short window […]
A rabbit health record should make it easy to answer what changed, when it changed and what a veterinarian advised. You can start a free rabbit profile and keep examinations, medicines, weights and reminders with the same animal. The rabbit breed index helps with breed context, but the useful record belongs to the individual rabbit, […]
A well-cared-for domestic rabbit commonly lives 8 to 12 years, and some reach their teens. That is far longer than the old “a rabbit only lasts a year or two” myth, which came from neglected outdoor hutch rabbits, not from what a healthy indoor rabbit is actually capable of. The gap between those two outcomes […]
The honest answer to where to buy a rabbit is that you usually should not buy one at all before you have looked at a rescue. Rabbits are among the most surrendered pets in United States shelters, after dogs and cats, so shelters and rabbit rescues are often full of healthy animals that are often […]
