  Not very sure about eye problems in rabbits, but it’d be good to know if there’s discharge coming from the eyes? I’m sure that info could help someone more informed than me <3

  Hmmm, I’m no expert, but do you think it could be blindness? Does she seem to have trouble seeing? If she can’t see I would take her to the vet ASAP. I don’t know what else it could be, though. Keep us posted!

  That looks like your rabbit’s third eyelid. It can sometimes peek out but usually “resets” after some blinks.
  
  Edit: To add, if it seems irritated, torn, “gunky” or anything odd, a vet assessment would be wise, but I know there are some instances I can see my rabbit’s third eyelids and then they kinda go away.

  No she has no problem with seeing, so I don’t think it is blindness..
  
  but it could be her third eyelid, it is my first time knowing about this..
  
  i will see if it’s disappear then it is her third eyelid, if it’s not then i will go and ask the vet
  
  thank you everyone for your help💗

  Oh, okay. I thought you were talking about a thin coat over her iris and pupil, so that is what led me to blindness as a possibility. Yes, agree with Wick, it is her 3rd eye poking through. I wouldn’t be too worried, my buns’ 3rd eye pokes through occasionally. It is good of you to be concerned though. 🙂

  As long as it isn’t red and irritated, I wouldn’t be too worried. The third eyelid can protrude a little bit sometimes. Or it can get “stuck” if their eye is dry. Does your bunny sleep with her eyes open?

  Just to put you a bit at ease one of our kitties has her third eyelid out all the time!! She’s a lil weirdo but she’s fine, and I’m guessing it’s the same for you bun <3 just keep an eye on her!
