Are rabbits supposed to have a double chin?
Rabbits have folds of skin under their chin called "dewlaps." Dewlaps are usually more prominent on females, but also on some breeds more than others, and on overweight rabbits. Dewlaps are useful for rabbits because female rabbits like to line their nests with soft fur, and the extra skin of the dewlap is the ideal place to get that fur so that the rabbit doesn't get cold (because of the missing fur). Unless your rabbit is overweight, a rabbit having a double chin is fine, so don't get creeped! Another answer: Depends, rabbits usually do get double chins, thats i sign that your feeding it well. But that doesnt mean if i doesnt have one it means your not feeding it well, no. Rabbits need their nutrients and their Vitamens. They also need to be fit and healthy. A rabbit having a double chin can be a good thing or a bad thing.
If a female floppy eared rabbit is gaining weight under her chin what does that mean?
Possibly overfeeding. Consult a reference on feeding rabbits, and if you're doing all the right things, see a vet. If it is only under the chin area and the rest of the rabbit seems to be fit, then this is common during the breeding season of spring. They develop of pad of flesh and fur under their chin down to their chest. It is a bit of protection. Rabbits tend to be kicked there by other rabbits a good deal during that time of year. It occurs when a female rabbit is spurning advances or when they are having a dispute over a mate or territory. It will thin back out as the heat of summer sinks in. When the cooler weather comes around, the entire rabbit may flesh out a bit. It is all part of their natural cycle.
Why does your rabbit like its chin rubbed?

Do pregnant rabbits develop lumps under the chin?
The lump you are referring to is probably her dewlap. A dewlap is loose skin that often develops on the neck of the female rabbit. They are found mainly on female rabbits in certain breeds, the males are also allowed a small one. Its purpose is to give another area for the doe to pull fur from when she is making her nest for her kits.

Is it okay not to spay or neuter rabbits?
I assume that you are talking about pet rabbits. Neutering male rabbits is preferable because it will prevent them from spraying around your house. They spray to mark their territory just like a cat will. Spaying a female rabbit is preferable because it prevents her from going into heat and exhibiting all sorts of strange behavior from chin rubbing to aggression.

Can rabbits smell?
A rabbit needs a good sense of smell to live well and to have a long life. It needs to smell and run from a predator (enemy) before that predator eats the rabbit for lunch. The rabbit needs to smell other rabbits nearby that it may want to mate with in order to not become extinct. And it needs to smell for food like the yummy vegetables in my garden. Rabbits with a poor sense of smell may not notice a predator approaching, may not find a mate for reproduction of the species, and may not be able to locate the most nutritious food to keep itself healthy. The rabbits that have a good sense of smell will be better at escaping a predator's attack, finding a mate, and locating food. Rabbits with good sniffers will outnumber rabbits that are sniff-challenged!!
