Snot!

So I brought in the 2 outdoor rabbits, and they now have a tiny bit of white stuff on their nose! :x they're hot and I gave them a frozen water bottle, and one of those ice packs. Could it have to do with their panting/hotness? :?

Ugh. Charlie, the other doe, has also been cutting up her ear. I don't see any mites, and it's only 1 ear. She has no mucus stuff though.

If the mucus is not clear- and its white then its probably not from panting. Are they sneezing or can you here a wheezy congested sound if you listen to them breeth?

With the temperature change I wouldn't jump to conclusions.

Why did you bring them in? Can you put them somewhere where it will be closer to 32' or less instead of a 65' + house?

She could have a seed or other debris in the ear or very early stages of mites. I would do a vegetable oil flush as it could help her shake out the debris and/or suffocate the mites.

I've been told temp change can bring on Pneumonia.

Our house is 64. They spent a fair amount of time in the 40 degree arctic entry way, perhaps not long enough though.

They are breathing fine,

Brought them in because.. Well, I'm not exactly sure why but we did

Edit- ok silver, the buck, has no white stuff. It looks like it might be a bit damp around his nostrils, but it'd be clear mucus if it is

The doe, however has a big wad of it in one nostril. She's breathing fine, but it's a but whistley, like when you get boogers caught in your noise so suddenly you can whistle...

I can't really tell if they're hot or not, but they appear to be happy. The doe Is flopped down on the buck

Its not good that she is whistley but I would just wait and see - it could just be debris or something up the nose and maybe irritation from temp change - she might just get better on her own.
