What is meant by the luster of a rabbit?

Luster refers to the brightness and sheen of the rabbit's fur. When evaluating luster, you are assessing how light reflects off the fur, which can indicate health and quality. A rabbit with good luster will have a shiny, vibrant coat that appears well-cared for and properly groomed. This shininess is often a positive indicator of the rabbit's health and nutrition.

In contrast, while color, thickness, and length of fur are important characteristics that may influence the overall appearance of a rabbit, they do not specifically pertain to luster. The color of the fur defines its pigmentation, thickness relates to how dense and fluffy the fur is, and length describes how long the fur strands are. None of these directly address the reflective quality that luster represents in the context of rabbit showmanship.
