Our bunny who had EC has now developed a bald patch above her tail. She is a constant moulter but there is now a section that has a very thin covering of short fur and none of the long fur. Should i be thinking about a phone call to the vets? Is this completely normal and I'm now just becoming a mad paranoid mother???!! We have stopped grooming her for now. I don't believe it's our other rabbit doing it and i don't seem to be finding clumps of fur anywhere so i'm not quite sure whats happened!
 
could be going through a bad moult, my bun has bald parts

are there any other symptoms like scratching, or anything else that concerns you? if so then maybe worth a et check, if not I would think it moulting
 
It could be a moult or it could be mites possibly. A trip to the vet would settle your mind if you don't think it is a moult.

One of my buns lost some fur on her tummy which was strange and no sign of "dandruff" etc. She was given mite treatment by vet and it grew back quickly.
