Question

Minilop Fur
Hi, I'm wondering why my bunny's fur (on top) is a bit bald, it's like skin colour first, then turn to darker colour with white spot..

She's 3 years old mini lop rabbit, living in a cage with hay and eating mixed guinea pig and rabbit feed, i'm concern about this, should i do something.. she doesn't feel any problem as i can see..

Thanks in advance.

Sam.

Answer
Hi,

it's not unusual to see a number of colors along the length of a piece of fur.  Having more than one color isn't strange.  What is abnormal is the bald spot.  Something is causing it.  I would get her in to a good rabbit vet to check her over for mites or a fungal infection.  To find a good rabbit vet go here:
