My rabbits fur colour is changing in some spots

Question
My rabbit sniffles is 1 years old. Ive had her since she was a baby. In some spots her fur is a darker color. I was curious to know why its like that.

Answer
Hi,

It's really hard to tell without seeing her. Do you know what breed and variety (color) she is?

It might be that is simply her body color. Not all rabbits are a solid color. Here are some examples:

It's likely just her color. Some breeds change color as they age. As long as the darker areas look normal, I wouldn't worry about it.
