Rabbits orange eye!

22 11:16:52

Question
I have just noticed today that my one year old male rabbit has (sort of a group of little orange spots around the corner of his eye).  They are not on the eye ball but the skin around.  I have tried to wipe them off because I thought they might have been pollen - but they didn't move).

He seems fine apart from this and I was just wondering if you had any ideas as to what this could be.

Many thanks - Catherine

Answer
If it isn't something that you can wipe off, then no, I don't know what it would be.  Not ticks or fleas or anything like that?
