  I’ve noticed that my bunny has a small dewlap. It isn’t noticeable until you see her pick up a piece of food from her veggie plate.
  
  Is this common?

  Yes, it is completely normal. It is mostly noticable on females. It’s for pulling out fur when preparing nests. Nature is so clever
  
  So, no worries.

  Pip is lucky, if she has a dewlap, it’s almost invisible because she is part lionhead and her fur covers most of it.
  Mimzy has a noticeable one though. Made me so sad to see it because I thought he was just getting fat. 0_o
  
  Hm. Methinks at my age it’s just disturbing because I think I’m getting one too. >_< Or maybe more than one…..
