I’ve had quite a few rabbits over the years, and only 1 grooms me regularly! I think the ones that do get lots of attention on social media but I don’t think it’s something that the majority of rabbits do regularly. I another one bun that would only groom my leg when I wore a specific pair of fuzzy pj pants. LOL

It doesn’t look too bad to me. Is the area you’re concerned about on the lower edge of the lid? I would hold off on doing any gels or creams, but you can rinse the eye with saline solution. He could have scratched it or gotten some hay dust in it.
