Possible sore hocks?

Last night Zeus was flopping and I noticed a new pink/redish spot on his foot [emoji33] panic mode ensued obviously :( it's only on his 1 footsie and I tried holding him to investigate but he really doesn't like when I hold him in that paws to the front position so wasn't able to really check.
Did manage to take some pics(with and without flash) while he was laying down though, I will get the vet to check on Monday but to prepare myself and get advice, could this be the start of sore hocks?

Poop [emoji24] their main run around area is a carpet :( the rest is wood floors.
Thank you though :)

Their main area is my lounge and room so not sure what else to use? :s

Yup - looks very familiar. My bridge bun Henry had this. Zoomies on carpets was the culprit. Friction burns is a better way to describe it.
 
Yes we had some success with cotton sheets and nice fluffy rugs for sleeping on (only for non chewers lol)

I made a bed from vet bed and then sewed it into a couple of cotton sheets which Primrose loved.

Can't have my baby boy get sore hocks [emoji3064]
It's weird though because he really doesn't run around, he's the laziest bunny ever, most days he just flops or sploofs but have seen him sitting quite a bit lately. Think I've only seen him zoom once [emoji1787] he does love doing the odd binky when food is involved [emoji1787]
