Answer
Hello, Debi.

I would recommend taking him to the veterinarian. A veterinarian is the only person that can properly diagnose and treat him.

It may be ringworm or it may be fur mites. Without seeing the rabbit, it's hard to tell. Ringworm is zoonotic, so it is possible for you to catch it. I would avoid touching the area and be sure to wash your hands after you handle your rabbit.

Good luck! I would like to know what the veterinarian says, keep me updated!
