  today I noticed by bunny’s little white paws had some greenish staining. they aren’t matted or anything but I was wondering if this is a problem?

  It may be from eating veggies, a mixture of moisture and hay dust, or green discharge from the nose, though the latter would show some other concerning signs. Do any of these seem plausible to you?

  I think it could be veggies, because while examining his paws there were little bits of dirt from the lettuce (fresh from my garden). It could also be his hay, but I don’t think it is discharge from his nose because he is behaving very normally, flopping, grooming and all.

  It isn’t unusual for white paws to get a green “tint” from hay dust. This is particularly true if hay is kept in the litter box.

  my bun will also get green paws after washing himself after a bowl of leafy greens… certain greens seem to make it brighter. His white nose marking also gets green, it usually fades pretty quickly. As other have said I would really worry about it, especially if it’s not sticky seeming and he hasn’t been acting ill.
