Coat changing colour?

[Apollo’s Slave]

Apollo is going through a pretty big shed at the moment and I think he looks amazing! But his coat is kind of changing colour, is that normal?
He is a chinchilla coloured Rex rabbit, so his main body is grey with white underneath. But as he sheds he seems to become a little more white? Is that normal?

It is really hard to tell with Theo when he sheds because his coat grows in the same pattern, but I would guess that it is normal for it to get lighter. After looking over some pictures of Theo it does seem he has gotten lighter. I wouldn't worry.

I'm wondering the same thing about Trixie! Before she was had chinchilla colored fur, but now as the shedding has been happening, she's starting to create a pattern on her back and face. It's so fascinating! I'm calling her a leopard because that's what she reminds me of LOL.

That is quite common as they get older, just like grey hair

He’s not really old though. I think he’s 1 and a half.

My bun coat changes to she has a black coat. Sometimes the black looks really dark sometimes it looks like a lighter black. She not older either i think it’s cause there getting a new coat. I say it’s normal my bun also use to have grey eyes know there brown.

Well then I don't know... it is probably a season change then because hair naturally gets lighter as it gets warmer and darker as it gets colder
