baby bunny with weird discharge

Question
Hi,
I am a registered rabbit breeder. I just encountered an odd problem with one of my Holland Lop babies. They are 19 days old.
One male has weird stuff coming from his anus. It is crusty, sticky and yellow. Look like human nose boogers. It sticks his fur together so you cannot see his genitals. I have to pull it off his fur. I just found this yesterday. A few others have a speck of it but not as much as this one. They are eating well and pooping regularly. This yellow stuff is not his poop. It is just an extra discharge stuff. I held their stomachs and they do not grumble so there is no gas and they are eating well. Other than this they are happy and healthy and plump.
Do you know what this could be?

Thanks

Answer
hello brittany

im sorry im not really sure what this could be as i have had no experience with this before. It could have been some sort of infection inside his body. I would go and see your vet asap incase it is something serious

good luck
