It is a certain gene, that makes the rabbit completely white, with red eyes. Hence the nickname... REW {Red Eyed White}

What color are the parents? At the moment., it does look like a Ruby-eyed White (REW). The only other possibility would be a Himi/Cali/Pointed White (same color, it's just that the name is different depending on the breed). Himi's start out white, then develop the darker points as they get bigger. By the time a Himi baby is about 3 weeks old, you can typically see a bit of darker color showing up on the nose, ears, and the tail.

Don't suppose you have pedigrees on them. do you?

REW is a recessive trait. That means that the baby had to get the gene for REW from both parents. The same is true about Himi, though Himi is dominant to REW (meaning, you could have one Himi gene and one REW gene and the results would be Himi).
