I just got a new rabbit two weeks ago.
I felt a bump on the left side of rabbit’s neck and am wondering what it could be. It feels like an immobile lump and it’s not under the skin. There is no hair loss or irritation, and seems to be non tender when I palpate it.
I tried to take a pic as best as I could.

I have more pics.

Tick, skin tag, tumor, ?. There's also the shope papilloma virus that can cause wart like horny growths. It's hard to tell from the photos, what it might be with your rabbit. And sometimes these things require testing done by a vet to determine the cause. If there's any concern, best to consult with a knowledgeable rabbit vet.

I think it may be a tick, although dead by now.
We just removed it this morning.

Yuck! Just keep an eye on the spot for a few days to make sure it all came out and there's no sign of an infection starting from it(if it was attached and there's any left over wound there). Hopefully there won't be any other issues from it.
