Hair loss on nose

I have just gone to clean out the buns and have noticed that one of them has a patch of hair missing from her nose.
She is a rescue rabbit so doesn’t like to be handled and is very timid so I can’t really get a full on proper look.
I was just wondering whether anyone knows what has caused this?
I will try to upload a photo when I work out how to!

Photobucket isn't working, so you may have to register with Imgur or another photo-hosting site :)

Fingers crossed this works!

Thanks again

If it is a moult line then nothing to worry about (just the usual extra brushing & encouage lots of hay). Did you upload via photobucket (I'm wondering if not many people can see the image). Do the dark areas have fur breaking the surface - ie really short fur? No scaliness or white flecks?
 
try imgur.com :wave: its really simple. head there and just click "new post", then follow uploading from your computer. you'll want the "BBCODE" and just paste it straight into the reply. BBCODE is what RU uses for images, so no need to click insert image up the top.

I'm happy to provide screen shots if you need any help!

Yeh, it looks like really short fur, i cant see any obvious white flecks and i've been pretty close, but dont really want to upset her trying to catch her, but i managed to make her stay still in exchange for some veg.
