Lion Head Rabbit Eye Care

Question
We have a baby Lion Head Rabbit and it has a build-up of crust around his eyes.  We've been told this goes away with age.  Is there anything we can do to help clean it away?

Answer
Is this tearing that is causing the build up, or just from sleeping?  If it is the later, you can use water on a paper towel or washcloth to wipe it away.

If it is the former, check out the information at http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html#eye to make sure it isn't anything that is going to cause him problems later.
