Kit’s eyes look sunken with dark rims

[Juci]

I have a 4 week old kit from a litter of 5. The past couple of days I thought his eyes look slightly off somehow. The rim looks a bit off, not really red but definitely dark. Is this normal?
This morning I thought I noticed a very slight yellow green color around the kit’s nose, so I immediately thought it might be snuffles. I luckily haven’t seen that in my rabbits before, so I don’t have experience with it, only from what I’ve read online and on here.

I immediately checked all the other kits in the litter and they all seem perfectly healthy. The mom also seems to be in perfect health. I haven’t heard any sneezing from any of them, including the kit in question. Am I overreacting or could this be a very early sign of snuffles? Should I try to wean/separate the kit from the rest?

I haven’t introduced any new rabbits since I got them all in July and up until now no health problems. I was really considering keeping this kit as a breeder too. He’s the biggest of the litter and such a cute color. :/

He is beautiful. his head is very slim but I don’t see anything wrong.

I don't see anything off with him, at least in my initial look. As I at the blow ups of the photos his eyes MIGHT be a bit odd-shaped. They should be basically smoothly round/oval and they might be a bit off. I don't have the words tonight to describe what I think I am seeing.

I might suspect he's a messy eater at four weeks... some kits will get a green tinge through that messiness.

Thanks for replying! He’s such a sweet little thing too, I’m really hoping he stays healthy and everything. Maybe he’ll fill out as he gets older lol.

Thank you for looking and for your input! He is a pretty messy eater, and I’ll keep watching his eyes. I went back and looked more closely at photos of him at 2 weeks old and his eyes sort of looked like that shape even back then… so maybe it is just how he looks.
