Hello
My bun Mavis (6 month nethie) has recently developed patchy fur on her flanks. I'm hoping to find out the reason for it. I don't think its just a moult, although I'm rather hoping it is. The alternatives as far as I can see are: Rupert, her husbandbun, is a bit territorial sometimes and does lunge at her sometimes. I'm not too worried about this as they get on very well most of the time, he never hurts the skin, just seems to take tufts of fur.
Or mites, what do I look for if it is mites. I am planning to take her to the vets in the next couple of days but it would be good to be armed with some info.
Any help gratefully received
