Double Chin

Question
Hi, my rabbit has over the past few weeks developed what looks like a double chin. Could it be that he is getting to heavy? Or might there be something else? Thanks, Hannah

Answer
Is your rabbit less than a year old? Unspayed? If so, it could be a dewlap, that is what female rabbits develop to pull fur out of for their babies.

Or, he or she could be getting pudgy, I've seen male rabbits develop them too.

Here's a picture of a rabbit with a dewlap, if your rabbit meets the conditions above, it's not a problem. http://www.indianahrs.org/Adoption/details.asp?ID=142
