A query regarding rabbits 3rd eye lid

seagreen

Warren Scout
I've noticed in the very large breeds you see a little of their 3rd eye lid in the bottom corner of their eye.

A medium sized lanky female lop, supposed to be about 8 months old, has come into a RSPCA fosterer & her 3rd eye lid can be clearly seen in the corner of each eye. She's not a flat faced lop - she's got a pointy face & she's very lively & the eye's don't seem to be sore.

Could she be a young giant or could there be a health problem ?
 
probably nothing to worry about at all... I can see the third eyelid on both my giants. She sounds like she may have a giant breed in her, but some other medium/small buns you can see it too I think :?
 
All rabbits apparently have 3 eyelids, but with conti's/flemish giants and some french lops and british giants it's really obvious.
