lionhead bunny bald spot

Question
Bunny is about 7 months old.  Recently, developed a bald patch on back of neck.  There is no indication of abnormality other than no hair.  Skin looks healthy with no flakiness or redness.  What would cause this?  Thanks for your help.

Answer
Dear Lydia

Please see:

Is there another bunny being housed with this one?  The area suggests overgrooming, or her being mounted and tufted by a more dominant bunny.

You can find a rabbit vet to examine her here:

Hope this helps.
