Wet Chin

I noticed this morning that my bun has a wet chin he had a drink but the water on his chin dried within 2-3 mins any ideas what it could be x
 
Buns can drool alot when they eat if they have issues with their teeth. I would try to watch whether the chin is wet after eating or wet after drinking. The vet can use an oteoscope (what you'd normally look in ears with) to look into the rabbits mouth at the back teeth.

its only on his right and is literally dripping his appetite and behavior hasnt changed in any way
 
I'd get a vet to check his teeth out then. They will often drool before they show any difficulty eating and it's better to find out before they get to the point where they can't eat so well so they're good and strong if they need an anaesthietic to have dental work done.

ok thanks for all your help x
 
Hay is usually one of the first things they go off or struggle with. Scarlet never has a problem with anything else.
