tiny loss of fur

Question
I have a pet rabbit about 9 months old. Yesterday I noticed a tiny piece of fur missing on the top of his head.It looks somewhat like a bald spot. What could this be from and what should I do?

Answer
Dear Jessica,

As long as the skin looks healthy, and the fur grows back in within a week or so, I would not worry.  But if you are concerned, please read:

and find a good rabbit vet here to have a look:

Hope this helps.
