No scraping. Vet didn't seem concerned.. Said to watch for mites. Ugh.. Said its normal for some angoras to have a bald patch there.. Itching seems to be down, though... I bought him at a fiber festival. The guy told me he was the runt, but he didn't seem smaller than any of the rest of his liter. He has a sharpie tatoo in his ear, so I assume they kept track of when he was born. He told me he was 8 weeks old then.. Vet said he was way too small to be 9 weeks. He seems happy and healthy, eating, drinking, peeing, POOPING, and growing. I guess I will just wait and see. If it gets worse, I will take him back to the vet. I don't think she wanted to do much since he's so young. Said I will know for sure how old he is when his testicles drop, which is 11-12 weeks. I wonder if he's allergic to something in my house. The vet did say, no potpourri, no scented candles, no air freshener.. I have all of these things!! I will try to post a picture. Like I said, I have never had a rabbit and had no idea what to expect. Thanks!
