theres a smaller one on his other eye


any idea of what it is? do you think we should take him to the vet?
 
That's the third eyelid (nictan) which protects the eye and keeps it moist.
If it is visible all the time I would get your Vet to check your Bun over for any possible causes such as infection. Elongated tooth roots can cause occular problems so it's important to consult a Bunny savvy Vet who wont just pack you off with some eyedrops and/or Baytril without a thorough examination to determine the cause !!

Good luck :)
