This is one of our babies, 7 weeks old and I've noticed her nose seems dirty the last few days. She's the only one in the litter with this, there's no sneezing or watery eyes. Do you think she's possibly sick or did her nose just get dirty? I could try using a baby wipe to clean her up but if it's not necessary I don't want to freak her out.

If your rabbit was hot today, that can cause some moisture to be around the nose, and that could pick up dirt. I would clean it off or let her do it herself, and keep an eye on it. Also take steps to help keep bunny cool in these hot summer temps. Keep in AC when it's hot.

If the dirty nose keeps happening even when your bun is kept cool, if there are signs of sticky white discharge, and/or there is crusty matting on the inside of the front paws, then it would be a good idea to get your bun checked by a knowledgeable rabbit vet.
