my bunny has bald patches

Question
i have an 11 months old mini lop bunny, bought from a pet shop last September. he's been shedding for weeks but today i noticed a large bald patch at the bottom of his back, its larger than the size of a two pound coin, is it just normal shedding or could it be something more??

Answer
hello karen

rabbits shed there hair twice a year, usually before seasons. It is normal for a rabbit to lose alot of hair especially when its summer. If you are worried get her checked out at the vets just to be sure she is ok. but as long as the area is not red, itchy or sore then it should be nothing serious.
