Weird place for any kind of a hernia, though, so like ohiogoatgirl says, it might be a tiny wound in the leg skin and muscle.  I don't suppose you can get a closer/clearer picture without upsetting her too much?I had a kitten (cat lady story again sorry!) born with a very deformed front paw and an extreme umbilical hernia forced out by the pressure of birth, but he was particularly strong and lusty despite that, so I gave him a chance rather than euthanising him on day one - with time and attention his hernia stayed in and healed over enough that he wasn't at risk of inside bits becoming trapped outside, and he never let his weird foot stop him. Once he was old enough and big enough he had a minor operation to put a stitch in his umbilical hernia to repair it properly. He lives with his sister in a happy pet home.  Cats are of course different from rabbits - but my point was merely that if this little "weird one" is otherwise healthy and happy, and most importantly not suffering, give it a while and see.</blockquote>
