My female rabbit is going through her normal molt process, but her ear's look 'chipped'? I don't know how to explain it, hence the pictures.
She's almost 2 and I've never seen this before.
She's acting normal, not lethargic, eating and drinking normal.
I just want to know if it's caused by mites or if it's part of the regular molting routine. There aren't any black spots in or around her ears, and they're not red. Please and thank you.

she does groom her ears, but not more than usual.
there are no other rabbit, but i do have a rat and a gerbil who's cages are close to one another.
 
The bits where they stick out more, if you gently encourage the fur, does it come out? Sandy went like that and it was just some fur was lose and some fur had already come out. When she had finished her moult, her ears were back to normal.
 
My Timmys ears have looked like this recently and hes also moulting quite heavily. When I teased the fur with my fingers it comes out so Im pretty sure its just part of he moult :)

Silly moth eaten buns :lol:
 
I rubbed her ears and the fur is coming out and looking more normal, thank you all! Dust Bunny thanks you as well
:mrgreen:
