thankyou jersey girl for uploading pics,
on further inspection of both, they have something sticking out of the skin (like a tic!), several of them! Although having read mighty max article it sounds like they can have burrowing mites! Poor things:-/
so there is no preventative for mites then? Also, what's the recommendation for flea and worm prevention please while i'm here??
Quote=mightymax;6945290]jerseygirl, thank you, you're amazing
it could well be mites, as you suspect kit123. Looks like there's been some irritation to the spot.
You can get over the counter meds for that, but your vet will identify for sure and give the correct dosage per rabbit.
The normal treatment for mites is ivermectin:

it's usually a spot on treatment, for both rabbits are the same time, and then it's repeated two weeks later. Some vets also repeat the dose a further two weeks after that to interrupt the life cycle of the mite
good luck xx
