Is it normal for rabbits to get sleep? Not excessive amounts with wet eyes like I would imagine weeping would be, just a little bit of dry sleep in the corner of their eyes?

This is a good question. I've only ever found it once on Tigger.
I remember she had a lot round her eyes after her spay.

Like people, allergy, dusty conditions and viruses. Moldy hay, wood shavings, pollen, being groggy from anesthesia...stuff like that!

I used to get it a lot, but not so much now. Humum thinks I still get it but she doesn't see it so much because Gizmo cleans my eyes for me Love

Snuffie gets it sometimes and I wipe his little face for him with a cotton wool pad.

Thumper had it from time to time.

Molly does too, it really stands out with her being black! She's never amused when I try to pick it off Laughing
