Fur missing behind my rabbits ears

just noticed behind Lola's ears on her neck theres like clumps of fur missing and i can clear see her skin, its like fairly big bald spots slightly bigger than a 2 pound coin, and its behind both ears. she seems fine shes not behaving any differently. shes bonded with another rabbit and hes fine, no missing fur or anything. is this something to be concerned about?

shes bonded with charlie and he still humps her sometimes and can nip her back i wondered if he done that to her neck.

thanks for any replies
 
Could be mites, fur pulling from partner bun or something else, odd moult, ringworm etc. Best to get bunny checked over by a vet as if it is mites treatment will be needed and bun will need to be thoroughly examined as it is often a sign of hidden ill health.
 
well her skin isnt flakey atall, looks completely normal to me. I'll have to take her vets then
 
One of mine came with no fur on her neck and small cuts, from the humping and fur pulling of her sister.
 
well shes got no cut, her skins all pink and healthy looking. its directly behind her ears where her fur is usualy quite fine anyways.
 
he doesnt really groom her much its definatly the otherway round, and yeah theyre both neutered

One rabbit is less interested in bonding than the other?
