My new bunny has a yellow nose and is scratching. Is it scabies?

Question

My 8 weeks fuzzy lop rabbit has something like yellowish thing on her nose,only a little bit though but her nose doesn't seem clean n i can see it clearly bcause her fur is white. Could it be scabies?because she sometimes scratch around her nose & ears too. I just brought her home 2 days ago and she seems picky in food. First day she ate hay n pellet i gave,second day she didnt eat the hay only hay-based pellet n today she only want to eat the non hay based pellet which i got from the breeder. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 1 day old | 1lb

Thanks for reaching out about Chloe and including pictures. By the photos, it is difficult to identify the discharge, but yellow nasal discharge is often an indication of a nasal infection. Try cleaning with a warm wet cloth, and monitor for sneezing and continued discharge. If discharge continues, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
