  both the boys have brown eyes. rue’s are darker brown, puppet’s are a more golden brown color. rue’s more prone to red eye, not only in photos, but in real life. the light hits the, and he looks like he’s shooting lasers from his eyes! nut has such gorgeous lashes. seriously, i’m a little jealous.

  I heard somewhere that an animals’ eyes glow red in light if they have a certain concentration of a special kind of cell along the retina, but don’t recall what it is. My bunnies’ eyes will glow red in the camera flash, but Jenna’s glow blue/green. So do my Griffy cats’.
  
  But yeah, all brown eyes here for my bunbuns. Pip’s are the darkest, you almost cannot see where her iris ends and her pupil begins, with the exception of the camera flash of course. Mimzy’s are a little lighter than Pip’s, but not much. Fiver is more of a chocolate reddish/brown and you can see his pupil well in regular light.
  
  I love brown eyes…mine are greenish gold and look like swamp water. I always wanted brown.

  Brown for Monkey and Squirrel, a grey-blue for Smudge, and blue and brown for Moosie
  
  I picked other due to the difference in Moosie’s, and Smudge’s aren’t quite blue

  Spencer has big, dark brown eyes and Katie has ruby eyes with light blue irises.
  Katie says, “What, I’m the only REW who has a slave that responded to this poll? Ruby eyes, represent.”

  Both of my bunnies have brown eyes. Most of my past bunnies had brown eyes, except for my American Fuzzy Lop who had ruby eyes.

  MimzMum – I think they appear red because the retina lacks pigment and you’re actually seeing red light being reflected from the blood vessels.

  Ellesbietka has brown eyes, but they definitely have a grey/blue tint to them because of her opal coat color.

  Two brown eyed bunnies here! Both are very dark and you have to look closely to see the pupil.
