Hi All
I've had my bunny Twinkle for over a month now. We got herfrom an animal shelter and have no idea how old she is....anyway, I wasgoing to wait until I got some pictures to post before I asked you allthis but the digi camera is broken so it looks like the picture takingmay have to wait.
Anyway, Twinkle has a saggy bit of skin/fur round her neck - like acollar which the people at the centre told me was called a 'goitre' Iasked them why she had it and they said some rabbits 'just getthem'. Being the inquisitive type and not wantingto accept this as the only explanation I thought I'd query it with theexperts (i.e. you guys)
When she is hopping and running you can barely see it but when she sits'loaf of bread' style it looks like a big ruffle round herneck. The fur is the same as the rest of her body - it seemsto me almost like stretched skin that ruffles up when she getscomfortable.
I don't think it's anything to worry about but I just wondered ifanyone had any stories or comments about this? Sorry againfor the lack of pictures.
