Yes -- some bunnies can get rather large ordouble dewlaps. Hormones, diet, and heredity are some factorsthat affect when/if a doe will develop a dewlap and how big it willget.

In some breeds, a dewlap is a disqualification for show. Abit of trivia -- the Giant Chinchilla is the only breed that has aspecific disqualification for a double or side carried dewlap.

If any of you have read the House Rabbit Handbook, the bunny on the cover has one serious dewlap.
