  One of my buns, Basil, is a Rex rabbit. I’ve read that this breed changes color to white in the winter- I’ve already noticed parts of his chestnut brown fur changing to a kind of light brown, white, and grey mix. Is this true? Will he be completely white? Or did I read some bogus? ?

  You read something bogus. All rabbits will change fur color a bit through moulting seasons, but they will not completely change color. All fur changes will be subtle
  
  My Blue is a mini rex. Hes gray with two to three small white spots on his back end all year around. In winter, he will get a few more white spots around his back end, but they slowly fade out as he sheds into his summer coat.
  
  My Bombur is a netherland dwarf. Hes otter colored. In summer, his fur is shorter and dark brown with tan tips. In winter, his fur is longer and black with tan tips.
  
  My Badger is a netherland dwarf/dutch mix. In summer, he is white and tan/dark brown tort. In winter, he is white and tan/black tort.
