So I was down having after work cuddles with joey lol he came and jumped on my lap like he usually does and I was stroking him I looked down and see this:

Now I thought I read somewhere that this means they are scared so I put him back on the floor n he just came over and put his head on my knee like this wanting more strokes with the white thing in his eye gone, so I deffinantly do not think he was scared because he always comes to me to sit on my lap I never put him there

That's pretty big, has it definitely gone back on his left eye? Your second photo only shows the right.
 
Daisy's third eyelid is visible most of the time and sometimes it is bigger than others. We asked the vet and they said it was nothing to worry about, especially with bigger rabbits.
 
That's good to hear guys thanks :) he is a perfectly happy bunny shows no sign of illness but I will ask when I go to the vets with my other rabbit in October see if they think I should bring him in
 
It can be a response to fear. If it keeps popping out then it could be a sign of an underlying problem, but I wouldn't worry at this stage.
