        I had read that rabbits, like many animals,  have a third eyelid but I can’t see it on any of mine except Deirdra. When she relaxes, she rolls her eyes back a bit and the third eyelid becomes visible. It gives her a creepy aspect!

          Love her!

          Is it the opaque part you are talking about – coming from the corner? I’ve see that sometimes but not sure if it’s the 3rd eyelid (nictitating membrane). I’ll have to watch more carefully on mine and see if it moves across the eye. I’m often on the floor staring at them (annoying them) anyway!

            In the video it looks whitish coming from the front corner, like you said, of her left eye. It reminds me of a shark, LOL. It supposedly keeps the eyes moist which is why they don’t have to blink as often.

              I thought they had a second eyelid not a third? Is it really a third?

                I recently saw Pip’s coming from the corner of her eye. Yes, they do have them.
                I don’t think they scroll over the eye like a cats’ does though.

                  It is a third eyelid; they have upper eyelid, lower eyelid and this haw, or third eyelid.

                    Very cool! And kind of creepy. Haha. It helps explain why Otto never blinks.

                        Petzy, I was able to capture the 3rd eyelid. This is a video still of Rumball (close up and in a flop). He was really out of it so I was able to stand over him and get this.
