QuestionI have two dwarf rabbits and they are both losing hair and coloring around the eyes and forehead area. What is the problem.
AnswerDear Jacqueline,
Although I can't see the bunnies, I am betting they have mange. You can see pictures here:

There are also instructions on how to get this treated, which is very simple. Revolution (selamectin) is the best and safest option. Over-the-counter remedies do NOT work, and may do more harm than good. DO NOT use Frontline, which can be deadly to rabbits.
If you don't already have a good rabbit vet, you can find one here:

Hope that helps. Please write back if you have more questions.
