Hi, welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately I can't offer any advise, but hopefully you will get some answers when you visit the vet x
 
Hello there and welcome to the Forum. I have just googled "Scabs under a rabbit's chin" and as it could be one of a few problems I think it would be the best idea to see a Vet. Hope you get your rabbit sorted.

Welcome to RU :wave:

Please let us know what happens when you take him to the vet. It could have developed from his drinking habits, but this usually happens with dental issues.

How old are your rabbits? :)

my smaller rabbit is about 1 1/2 years an the older one is about 2 1/2, but they have had 11 babies!! fudge (the male) has now been nutered X
 
Is the bowl he drinks from plastic by any chance? Bowls that are can harbor bacteria which can irritate the skin. Typically it shows as scabs on the chin. I had a kitty who would get it, but it stopped when I switched to a ceramic bowl.

Good luck! :)
