do older males tend to develop dewlaps?

My dwarf boy is 7 years old and over the last few weeks I've noticed he has a definite dewlap. He never did before. I know this can happen in males if they are overweight but I don't think he is - just wondered if it can be an age thing? Or could it be anything to worry about?

I presume we're talking about bunnies here? Cos me ex-OH had a humdinger!!! :lol:
 
I imagine so, it's more of a fatty storage for the males as they grow up, a bit like humans :lol:
Toffee hasn't got one, but I have bonded a group of 4 and one of the males was quite plump and he has a slight dewlap.

Excellent!!! and did his cheeks wobble when he shook his head from side to side??? Bit like Harold in Neighbours?????:lol:


NB,Last time I watched Neighbours was about 15 yrs ago.....I have heard since then that Harold has left the programme!!!
