  I’ve had Rosie for a while now, but I am not sure about her nose…Pudge is jet black, so I’ve never seen any residue there and her nose is fairly dry.
  
  Sometimes Rosie’s nose looks fine, and other times it looks runny. It only really shows up when I’m using a camera with flash to take her picture. I’ll attach some photos for examples.
  Would anyone be able to post pictures of their bunny’s nose for reference?
  
  Her paws don’t have any mucus residue / crust, she’s not sneezing or wheezing, and her behaviour is normal. Could the coloration come from her hay?

  Rabbits often have a little wetness around their nostrils. They normally only breathe through their noses. My bunny is black so no use showing pictures of him, but sometimes when I touch his nose it’s a little wet and at other times it isn’t.

  I have also had bunnies who had a damp nose at times, so that can be normal. The greenish coloration around her nose and mouth could very well be from hay.

  Okay, thank for the help. This makes me feel more relieved.
  She’ll be spayed by March, so I could always ask the vet then.
