  my bunny has notably gotten more pink around the nose and mouth. What does this mean? Should it be of concern? She is eating,drinking, and pooping normally. I haven’t noticed any behavior that isn’t normal of her either.

  A couple of thoughts, it could be due to seasonal shedding. Another option is that perhaps she’s chewing on something that runs her mouth as she chews it, such as the cage bars, or a wooden log etc.
  
  The last option would be from it getting wet from basal discharge or drooling, but it doesn’t look wet.

  Yeah, it doesn’t look wet. I agree, the fur could have been rubbed off.

  Agreed that that specific pattern of fur loss is common with rabbits who chew cage bars. If that is the case, you can see here for some tips on preventing that: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Training_FAQ#My_rabbit_keeps_me_up_by_consistently_chewing_his_cage_bars._How_do_I_make_him_stop.3F
