The pet rabbits sold in the market are mostly pure white with red eyes. They are albino rabbits.
Albinism gene is deliberately bred into these rabbits to look cute.
Albinism is a genetic mutation which makes these rabbits with no pigmentation in the fur and eyes.
Albino rabbits don't have melanin in their eyes to reflect light. So their eyes appear red.
Albino rabbits tend to have poor eyesight and sensitive to lights.
Don't expose albino rabbits to sunlight for long time. It can burn their skin. They can feel uncomfortable looking at bright lights.
