This is Pepper last year (5 m/o in the pic) vs. today. It’s hard to tell due to the lighting, but his coat has gotten darker and less white. Has this happened to any of your guys’ buns?

Omg I love his hair!!! He’s a rock star!!
From what I read, rabbits are no different from humans in this regard. As we mature, our bodies change. For example, if a person has gray hair at around 70, rabbits can become grayer as they age too. Rabbits Online has more info, if interested:

A distinguished little gentlebun!
Not a biologist, but maybe he has some sort of genes that work similar with those of Siamese cats wherein he’s albino, but some body parts are darker due to variations in body temperature. Again, I am most likely an idiot for suggesting this but maybe the darkening of his coat is from those parts becoming cooler as he ages.
Yess mine went a slightly darker beige and thicker white eyeliner
Yes. Every time people and animals shed, the hair which grows back isn’t the same hair.
My boy was orange and now hes like a brownish orange. They DEFINITELY change. My girl was a lighter shade of cream and now its more beige.
yep! my bun’s ears used to be grey-ish, now they are white with a grey stripe. it’s def normal!
Yep! My grey blue rabbit turned pale grey, while my black rabbit developed some spots of copper and grey in some areas.
He likes to put his right paw in front, must be his good side for pics.
My bunnies both got new and different coats as they went through a molt
Yep, ours has a similar coat colour to yours. She was definitely whiter when she was younger and as she moulted over time slowly became more of a greyer white. So even though she’s white with the greyish points, she’s no longer white-white iykwim.
Very

On an unrelated note, your buns hair looks like my buns hair :,) is he part lionhead?
One of our bunnies changes slightly every new coat. Mostly has been getting more colour but his long lionhead hairs change length sometimes too.
Oh, yes… every season change for some.
Yes.
Also, I love Pepper’s luscious locks
Yes. My bun is turning orange to gray.
Oh my goodness! He’s adorable! And yes! Remy’s hair has gotten a lot different from when she was a baby bun! It’s more mature feeling!
Here’s an article on older buns! I hope it helps!
