Blindness in rabbits has many causes includingbacterial, geneticand congenital. If thatparticular line carries an inherited form of blindness, then it is notadvisable to breed them. Albino is a commoncolor inrabbits, and albinism in itself, does not necessarily cause blindness.

The other 3 rabbits of the litter was fine

I just wanted to let him know if it was ok to breed from the albino, asi thought maybe that was the reason for the poor little blindone.............if that makes sense!!!
