It sounds like your rabbits is moulting. They can lose fur quite dramatically during this and it often comes out in clumps.
Try searching the forum for posts about moulting you may find some pictures
If the skin is sore or flaky it could be mites which your vet can treat easily.

my bun is moulting.....and has bald spots too,but also has areas which have flakes on the skin which look likedandruff...but has had this scince we bought her!!! she doesnt scratch at it, so it cant be mites...can it? ive done a check but i dont see anything which could be a mite-my other bunny cookie doesn't have this...so if it was mites he would be infected.... could it be mites????:?
yes it is likely it is mites..that is what causes the bald patches and flakey skin.... i would take to a bet adn get some ivermetican...usually it will spread bun to bun but not always... it is unusuall but not unheard of for buns to not scratch with mites...

ive noticed they seem to moult in stages, i sit there pulling the loose fur out if its really bad as the brushes fill up to quick and ruins the flow so they get a bit more twitchy "is she grooming me or not come on ":lol: 2 of my buns love it when i do this as its a good excuse for a good back scratch to which they love, they start doing that licking the air thing:lol: they look semi bald but with the regular grooming its better as they dont ingest to much fur then
