Question
Hey im Christopher. I have a rabbit that is 5 years old and he wont change
colors. I hear that rabbits change color but dont know why mine doesn't.Please
answer my question.Also my rabbit is a girl dwarfe rabbit.

Answer
Hi Christopher,

not sure where you heard this or what your source was, but I don't think I'd listen to them on anything about rabbits.

Your rabbit will not change colors.  If they have a pattern, they will always have that pattern.  If they are solid colored, they will always be solid colored.

They only thing you could say that may change colors is that as they get older, some of their darker hairs around their muzzle (nose/face area) may turn grey or white, but that is a sign of aging, and not considered a "color change".
