maybe she is a calico, i hear they don't turn white until they grow a bit. (i am probably wrong on this)

Do you generally see it at night? because rainbows tent to turn white starting from the bottom then it moves up there sides, they never get totally white, but sometimes it looks pretty freaking cool, both my BRB and my CRB both do it, durring the day they are normal, and they get the white sides at night. . .

goodluck

Thank you but that is not it . I feel more that it is a skin issue of some sort . Just can not figure it out.
