I think this is intresting found it in a write up by Laurie Statz, called Tri-Color Rex the other broken variety .
The solid color counterpart to the tricolor looks like a harlequin rabbit but it should be referred to as a brindle. Harlequin is a breed and has bands, alternations and splits in its standard. The brindle should not show these features. In my experience, brindle Rex showing these Harlequin tendencies that may interfere with the tricolor pattern, making a substandard pattern. Brindles make wonderful breeding stock for tricolor.

Heat Stroke
In nature, rabbits are burrowers, and they go underground to avoid heat. They are happiest in cool temperatures. In an outdoor cage, a rabbit is highly susceptible to heat stroke. It is by far the largest killer of bunnies in our area. Rabbits are covered with fur and do not pant to cool off like a dog would. If left uncooled in a cage, car or out in the sun, their brain can swell, resulting in a painful death.
The best way to avoid heat stroke is to have an indoor cage where you can keep your rabbit when hot weather reaches over 85 degrees F. This is extremely important if you work during the day! If your rabbit must stay outdoors, a frozen two-liter soda bottle can be placed in the cage to keep your pet cool. I highly recommend keeping two additional frozen bottles in the freezer so that one is always available.
If temperatures reach over 90 degrees, a fan is essential to keep air circulating. Point the fan at half the cage so your rabbit can move in or out of the breeze. Wet burlap sacks can be suspended from the cage sides, along with the fan for a swamp-cooler effect. Better yet, get a misting system -- they are available at hardware stores during the summer. Attached to a hose and timer, misters cool the surrounding temperatures by as much as 15 degrees.
What if my bunny already has heat stroke?
A warm bunny will lie flat on the floor of its cage, and have higher respiration. A very hot bunny will develop a wet area around their nose and could be limp. Cool warm rabbits by wetting their fur with a spray bottle and getting them out of the heat. Immediately cool hot bunnies by soaking their fur in a bathtub or sink full of lukewarm water. Put them in front of a fan to lower their temperature quickly and to stop the swelling of the brain. They will show signs of recovery by brightening up and becoming active again. Let them dry naturally and watch for signs of depression. Give them lots of attention after they are cool. If you have experienced the opposite of heat stroke -- a wet bunny in cold weather -- here's what you should do. Dry the rabbit and warm it up gently. Use a low, slow, warm setting on your hair dryer. Introduce the hair dryer slowly, so you don't frighten the rabbit. Keep your hand inside the stream of warm air so that you will not burn the rabbit's skin.

Cuts:Bunny cuts heal amazingly fast. Clean the cut if it is dirty and apply Neosporin or a similar ointment.
Fleas:Use cat flea powder only. Never flea dip a rabbit. They are very susceptible to poison. A flea dipped rabbit can die within minutes.
Fly Strike:Flys lay eggs in the soiled area under a rabbits tail if he has diarrhea. Within hours the eggs hatch and start to eat the rabbit alive. Gross! Within one day the skin can part and a huge hole is created in the rabbit. And it hurts! MAKE AN APPOINTMENT with your vet ASAP, but before you go, print this out and bring it with you. If you cannot get an appointment right away, then follow this: EMERGENCY care if you cannot get to the vet: Pick off the maggots and wash the area under water. Go to your local feed store and buy ivermectin paste, a horse wormer. Give the rabbit a q-tip sized bit of ivermectin in the mouth. Rub ivermectin in the wound. Dry the rabbit and keep him in the house. By the next day the maggots will have died and dropped dead into the bottom of the cage. If you caught it in time, the wound won't be too big. Do not wait an extra day to deal with this! The hole will double and triple in size in the matter of hours. If it's small just put Neosporin on it and keep them in the house (for weeks) until the wound closes. The vet may choose to stitch it. If the wound is large you'll need to wash his skin and fur out with a wound wash available from your vet or local pharmacists. Keep the skin moist with a product that your pharmacist will recommend until the wound closes. I have used duct tape as an emergency butterfly bandage when needed.
Ear Mites:Mitox or whatever your vet prescribes, works well. Keep it on hand. Completely disinfect the cage using diluted bleach (do not use Pinesol or other strong cleaners -- they are poisonous to rabbits) and rinse thoroughly. Do it again one week later, use cat flea powder for two weeks and wash all bedding when disinfecting the cage. Ear mites or fur mites also may be responsible for excessive loss of fur.
Teary Eyes: Terramycin eye ointment is available at feed stores. Wash the eye with warm water, and carefully trim wet fur around the eye. Follow directions on Terramycin ointment.
Broken Tooth: Oops! Your bunny jumped and missed. Check those teeth! Top teeth should overlap the bottom. If one is missing or broken, check every day to be sure they are growing back in correctly. Gentle pressure, after a week or so, can be applied three times a day to guide the tooth to the correct alignment. Incorrectly aligned teeth can grow into the nose or into the mouth and prevent eating. Misaligned teeth need to be trimmed frequently. Your vet or groomer can teach you how to trim them.
