I know I should go to the vet but, I just wanted to try to test it before I go to the vet.

Yes, First now that albino,s seem to be deaf more then any other color. Stomp your foot behind the rabbits tail, rabbit will move due to vibration, then just go behind rabbit and clap hands once. rabbits ears should turn back towards the sound or hop away. Another one is stand farther back be behind rabbit but far back as you can , put some pennies in a empty pop can and tape it closed. Shake the can fast back n forth and the rabbit should tilt ears back or hop away. If the rabbit shows no sign of hearing the can with coins in it step closer, tray again, keep going closer,, if your some what close to rabbit and still no response,, then yes i would say 100% that bunny is deaf. this also works on puppies, so many white German Shepard's are deaf, and other breeds. I wish you luck.

There are no such things as albino rabbits. There are several breeds and varieties of rabbits that have white fur and red eyes such and New Zealand Whites, White Satins, Ruby-Eyed White Netherland Dwarfs, White Rex, etc
If you make a sound and the rabbit doesn't respond, then it may be deaf. It's a rarity when a rabbit is deaf.

Rabbits have very sensitive ears, if you make a loud noise behind or to the side of them they will be startled and either look towards the noise or run away. I wouldn't suggest banging on the floor because they may be sensing the vibrations rather than the noise.

Clap or make a loud noise around it and see if it reacts
