Please Help! My bunny is loosing hair!

I have had 6 rabbits before my current 2 and I work on a farm that have over 25 and I have never seen this before. 3 days ago I noticed that my bunny had lost a lot of hair on his face and around his eyes. But it is only on his face. His face where there hair is gone has become dry so I have been advised to moisturise it. There was no sign of ill health or hair loss the day previous. And he is eating and drinking regularly ect. I have posted a link of the picture of his face via Facebook.

Since this was taken he has lost more hair around his eyes. I have read that someone other owners have had bald spots all over the body this is due to sheading. I don't think this is due to sheading as it is secluded to his face and he does not have sufficient hair loss elsewhere. If anyone could give me any advise as to what it could be or what I should do then it would be greatly accepted.

Thank you for your time in reading this tread.

Kind Regards
Jade
