  My buns has this green matted fur near his mouth/chin. Does it look like a problem?
  He has no troubles eating/drinking. I do feed him greens and I do see some juices on his floor+he has a water bowl that he likes to drink from that leaves his chin wet sometimes.
  
  Thanks!

  Hi taval
  
  I added the photos in. You just need to click on Insert Image icon to have them show in the post.
  
  To me, this does look worrying.It looks a bit crusty around one nostril so I wonder if he has some respiratory or even teeth issues. The fur being wet keeps the skin damp and that can lead to skin infections.
  
  This almost looks like when a rabbit chokes on something and a heap of fluid bubbles out the nose.
  
  Do have a vet with good rabbit knowledge?
