Calling All Rabbit Nutters

[Canadian Wind]

Okay, so... Yes, I still think it's just moulting. Some rabbits can go practically bald from it. Friend of mine had a doe do just that. If there are no underlying problems, I say leave it be.

I agree that you should be letting them figure things out between themselves unless blood *is* drawn and it gets seriously vicious.

Try the nettle tea for your mom, or if she can take it some sort of antihistamine an hour before bunny time. I'm actually allergic to cats, and have three. I've just gotten 'immune' to them particularly because they're around me all the time. Other cats, my eyes start tearing and reddening, I get the sniffles, etc.

The back of the neck is where their hair can be the sparsest to begin with so if she's one of those rabbits who moult kinda hard you'd probably notice it the most on her neck. As for mites they are not visible like fleas or something, the most you might notice is some white skin flakes or skin irritation, but overall whenever my rabbits had mites they looked completely fine except for missing fur. I'd just keep an eye on it, I've had plenty of rabbits randomly lose some fur in a spot and it usually doesn't turn out to be a problem, their fur is made to come loose pretty easily so it wouldn't take much for a chunk to be missing. If you notice the other rabbit losing fur or your rabbit keeps losing patches of fur then I'd treat for mites.

Yeah, Gus-Gus will have times where he loses the fur on the back of the neck and it always grows back. Of course I do have to trim any hair mats there too. And his butt. He’s a high-maintenance bunny.

He's so cute!!!
I love the floofy bunnies so much but there's no way I could maintain one
Maybe someday when I'm not competing I'll just have a couple angoras and spin some wool from them.
