Misty for the last couple of days has had a snotty nose its not thick snot it seems to be a yellow/light green color i just wondered if it was normal for a bun to get a snotty nose in winter? hes lively eating and pooing so no other obvious signs of illness.

You need to get your bun to the vets and on antibiotics

No it isn't normal, coloured discharge never is. As others said, he need the vets and some abx.

Light green snot can be indicative of an infection with pseudomonas bacteria...alternatively I have also known it to be clear snot with dust from the pellets stuck to it making it look green

In any case, snotty noses are not normal for bunnies at any time of the year so best pop your little one to the vets
