Moulting lines?

Hey,

A few weeks ago I noticed an 'M' shape line develop on Pi's nose, it would move when i moved the fur, so wasn't a scar or scratch which I first thought it might be. Since then, Gandi has developed what looks like lumps on his nose... but after parting the fur, and inspecting the area with my finger, it doesn't appear to be raised skin, but just the fur.

They are both loosing alot of fur, not bald in any places, so i'm assuming just moulting alot; just wondered if these lines and 'bumps' would be something to do with the moult?

This photo is Pi (tan lop earred cross), shows his little darker mark on his nose:

This photo best shows Gandalfs (White lionhead cross) lumpy nose!

Any ideas?
 
Yep, definitely moult lines and nothing to worry about! My Bunny gets them like the McDonalds logo! :D
 
thank goodness! =) phew! such a relief =) haven't had bunnies since i was like 8 (15 years ago!) and mum did most of the looking after, so just like to make sure i've got everything perfect! They're spoilt to pieces! =)
 
Don't worry, we all panic about things like that! :)

Lovely buns too, very unusual colours and markings :love:

Welcome to the forum by the way, I see you're quite new :)
