Not to sure what is wrong with him. Around his eyes are wet along with the side of his face and nose. I'm not sure if its from him cleaning his face and getting it wet. All I know is he doesn't look like a normal healthy rabbit. I have took some pictures of him but I don't know how well they will show his face and how he looks in person. I am going to separate him from the other rabbits just incase its something the others might be able to get. Also forgot to say when you try to pet him or grab the scruff of his neck he tries to hide his head. Its like he doesn't what to be touched. If that might help. Just really want to find out if its something that the others might be able to get because I noticed it I think a week or two ago but thought it was from him poking himself in the eye with straw or from him using his box for a litter pan instead of a box to keep warm in. Really hope someone can help me figure it out so I don't have to stress about the others getting.

If a rabbit acts sick it always best to quarantine to be on the safe side.

In the pictures it looks like a clear discharge and his front legs do not look like they have any **** on them from rubbing his nose so I don't think it is a bacterial issue as the discharge would be white or yellowish.

A virus could be to blame so keep him separate and watch to see if he gets better or developes a secondary bacterial infection like pasturella or bordatellla.
 
Here are a few more pics of him. It looks like his getting better but we shall see. At least around his eyes isn't wet anymore. You tell me what you think? Also question do you think bat dropping could possibly have something to do with his issue. Noticed some dropping on the top of his cage and it's either bats or rodents which I have both that live in my barn. I have him somewhere else now since I don't know what he might have which is away from the dropping and his eyes look like what the pics show. There is no wetness around them. Also another thing I put him out in the grass today to eat and he was playing hopping sideways and everything so he doesn't seem sick. I don't know what I should. Should I keep him seperated from the others or should I put him back in his cage?
