So, anyone ever come upon this problem?
Our 4-month old un neutered male is in a cage by himself, inside because we had to keep an eye on him after he got the bloat. He's half silverfox, 1/4 flemish, 1/4th new zealand, so nice thick fur that stands-up if you rub him the wrong way.
I noticed the fur behind his head on the shoulderblades was baby-down fine. Now recently, it's gotten really thin until, suddenly, it's bald! Skin is soft and pink and clean, he doesn't scratch, and no other rabbit has licked him there. So it's weird. He also has another smaller patch right on the cheek by the neck. I don't know if he's molting; would be odd in the fall. He's not missing fur anywhere else. I've never picked him up by the scruff, and he hasn't gone through stress recently. I don't think I should worry since there's no mites, discharge, etc. It's just, strange. My poor little bunny has male pattern baldness!
