The Ruby-eyed White
or REW is pure white
with the ruby eye.
However it carries a full set of hidden
color genes. Breeding a Ruby-eyed White to
another Ruby-eyed White will always result in Ruby-eyed
White kits. Breeding a REW to a colored rabbit will make the
genes carried by REW apparent as they appear in the offspring
The Blue-eyed White
is also
pure white, but with bright blue eyes.
BEW's also carry a full set of hidden color genes.
However these two white colors are, very genetically
different
and can create some odd kits such as sports
when bred together, or even bred with another colored rabbit.
In this case BEW should only be bred to BEW when breeding for show. When
breeding
for pet only rabbits, BEW may be bred to other colored rabbits.
Ermine or Frosted Pearl colors.
The frosted coloring can come with either a hint of black,
chocolate, blue or lilac in the coat.
They are not white in color, but are off-white in basic color.
