My rabbit Rosie has recently got a few bald patches on the toes of one of her back feet. There only about half a centimeter in diameter so quite small but there looking quite pink though they dont appear to be sore. There just a bit further down from her nails which seem short enough though I'm not an expert on this. I've tried gentelly squeezing them but she doesn't seem to mind other than to complain at being held. None of her other paws have any bald patches and the fur is quite thick asside from these 3 patches but I'm worried they'll get sore and scab etc.
It seems a bit early to get her to the vets given that she couldn't care less that they were there but I'm wondering if anyone knows what the likley causes might be. She's not licking it any more than the other and I don't think her brother is either, he generally likes licking her ears.
They're in a 2 storey hutch with hay on the floor downstairs and in the bed area. They do ahve access to a run all day which is out onto decking, this is the only newish addition since i noticed the patches. I'm about to pop down a ply floor for the run (to stop hay and poos getting in the gaps between the decking) and put a roof on as it was getting a bit damp but I'm not sure if this is causing the problem or not.
Any ideas, my husband says I'm over reacting but I do have a tendancy to do that over my pets.
