ur rabbit is maturing still two yrs ago he was a bunny and it was a nice gray as it grows its fur will change its color and he or she will shed fur every three months i know this for a fact because i have a mini rex and i done my research my mini rex rabbit is 9 months now he is the cutest most cddable things i have ever got he loves to give kisses
when i got him he was light brown tan he is a chocolat tort
he was so small he fit in the palm of my hand he was 5 weeks old but he grew eally fast and he began sheddding alot and his baby fur was gone and grew back with a darker color brown every 3 months they shed and the color became orange brow very nice shade and very cute
so the answer is rabbits shed every three months and their color will change with age
i hope i answered your question and enjoy ur beautiful rabbit remember to give it exercis for at least 1 hour the more the better

It's late summer. Your rabbit is just molting. I was just at a 4-H meeting this morning. There's one rabbit there which gets a different pattern on its face every time it molts. It used to have a darker V shape on its forehead, now it has two darker lines right below its eyes. Some just change color.
Mine, Clover, gets lighter in the summer and darker in the winter, as do most.
Also, when rabbit fur molts, sometimes it loosens and discolors. Try brushing it, if chunks of fur fall off, that's probably your problem. And make sure you keep brushing it if that does happen. They can get hairballs which can cause intestinal blockages, especially when they shed enough for that to happen.
Also, rabbit fur can fade if they're left in the sun. My friend's black rabbit is getting on in years and when she gets left in direct sunlight for a few days, she turns dark brown.
No matter what, there's really nothing to worry about. Just make sure you use a nice wire slicker brush and brush it once a day or so, and that should help.

I think the rabbit is getting old, time for a new one.

its totally normal. rabit's fur changes colors in different seasons. i had this one rabbit that was really black, but it turned brown during the summer

Is it gray hair?Sorry, I couldn't resist. Maybe he is getting older. My cat was light colored when he was a kitten and then got darker and then turned lighter again as he got older.

Maybe because its shedding its summer coat and making way for fall?
