Ringworm in rabbits

Does anyone know how to tell if a rabbit has ringworm?

My ds 9 has ringworm on his arm. I have throughly checked all the rabbits and can't see anything on them. No red or flaky skin.

All a bit puzzled by it. I don't think he has had any contact with any other animals so my rabbits are the only cause i can think of.
 
They get little sores which are often itchy so I'd expect the buns to be scratching. Most common place is the head/face area.
 
Thank you Checked everyone over. Faces are fine and no sores or inflamed skin. All very strange.

Even got the vet nurse to have a look and she can't see anything on the boys or Belle. She suggested it was picked up from someone else or another animal.

Just going to keep a eye on them and see if anything comes up.
 
I didn't realise ringworm could be picked up from animals - thought it was from human contact.
