Once in a while, even half of the mother's coloring and half of the father's coloring can appear on a rabbit's coat. When a rabbit gets very old, its coat color can change to white, detecting its old age. Usually, a rabbit has its mother's coloring with a little touch of the father's coloring appearing on its coat. Though rabbits can be all 'fun and play,' they can also get very ill easily. Think of rabbits as young, healthy human babies.
Rabbits can get ill from no food, dirty water, no water, dirty homes, no exercise or attention.
Rabbits can get mild colds, colds like the ones we have. But, unlike us, if you don't take your rabbit to the vet, it's 'mild' illness can turn into a big disease and your rabbit could die. Also, not bringing a rabbit in for regular check-ups can kill it. Rabbits need to be checked usually once every two months. Doctors can find lots of little problems in rabbits that an owner couldn't find.
