Question
i found this baby bunny a few weeks ago and it seems healthy but today i picked it up and its back hair almost came off and i saw red skin and a little patch of hair came off with skin is that normal? what do i do?

Answer
Hello Amanda !
Well it is normal for pet rabbits to loose hair its called MOLT. it usually happens twice a year some times more  its ok just brush it out and keep it from matting up. if you seen red skin your rabbit may have mites and you need to take it to a vet.
good luck
