Is this normal? For a girl. Just been grooming her and haven't noticed her parts being this 'gappy'!

This is kind of to the side of the main 'bit'.

Sure it's nothing, but, as we had that tiff with her and Binky the other week, wanted to check she's not hurt!
 
Yep.Bit grubby though.Its her glands we were chatting about yesterday.
Is she a dental bun or another problem?? A fit bunny would keep this area clean.xxxxxx
 
Yes, absolutely normal. That is where her scent gland is. She will have one on the other side as well. You may find it's a bit stinky and there may be a build of gunk if she doesn't clean it properly.
 
Is it grubby? Where? (Sorry just not sure which bit you're looking at! The fluff or her bits?)

She's not a dental no.

(The orange bits are her feet haha - she's ginger)
 
Theres a dark bit in the er...actual bits.Just a quick look and I thought it was er...grubby.:oops:
My Lily's was grubby.I do have to check her as shes a dental bun and has spinal probs.Cant bend enough to reach in to clean.
 
Thanks for the link to the other thread.

Maybe it is grubby - when I brush her in that area it sometimes smells a bit, but just a few seconds - I figured she was just making a smell then stopping.

She's only 4 months old so I hope there's no bad reason why she's not cleaning well.

She never gets a mucky bum and keeps her fluff down there very clean.

Teeth problems can happen at any age.A few spurs can develop, but get chewed down to nothing if all is in order in the mouth.Just keep an eye.
If she gets grubby, flies can follow, Id expect.
Hope you found the answers you were looking for.xx
