I've had the odd rabbit with bright yellow fat, and from the same warren as rabbits with normal white fat. I thought it was something to do with what the rabbit had eaten, but I don't think it can be: anyone else got any ideas. They taste just the same as white fat rabbits by the way.

i caught and gutted a rabbit this morning with loads of white fat the most ive ever seen on a rabbit. it also had had its ears bitten off probably by its mother when a kit. but maybe it was a really fat rabbit because it comfort ate because the other rabbits laughed at its stumpy ears??
