Diet

- what specifically does your bunny eat? Usually timothy hay (but we are out, going to store soon) and normal rabbit pellets (we just threw the bag away, like 2 days ago when we put the food in a plastic tub.) It is basic, without any colored shapes or anything. and occasionally some carrots. it comes in a 50 pound bag, and the bag is pink. we get it at tractor supply co.

- any other pets? if so, have they been ill? He is outside in his hutch next to panda, but not inside or near the cats. The only thing between Houdini and Panda is a galvanized wire fence/thing (part of the hutch)

All I can think of is that Panda bit him through the bars? I have never seen them fight or bug each other though. :?

Thanks! :big wink:

 
My Speedy had the same thing happen to him! He had a perfect square of fur missing right in the middle of his nose. I have no idea how he did it, but it's all grown back now.
 
Pepin often ends up with a few little bald spots after her early spring molt. Particularly if I get over enthusiastic with the brush!
 
Oh good! I didn't think it was anything much, but just wanted to make sure it was alright! He ha been molting so tht is probably why.
Thanks for everyone's replies! :)
