I’m freaking out a little bit because I’ve never had any experiences with mites before in and of my animals (chickens, cats, dogs, sheep), and the mite I’m suspecting is there can be passed to people so I’m terrified of getting it. One of my holland lops (4 years old) has started molting, so I went out and did some brushing and plucking to help her with it, and I noticed she had big flakey patches underneath her old hair on her back. I haven’t taken her to the vet because they don’t take appointments this short notice (backed up days in advance sometimes 
) could it be walking dandruff? I did some poking around on the internet and the general consensus was that rabbits don’t usually have dry skin without mites, but it’s a little odd because she’s a neat freak to the point she licked and cleaned her ear tattoo right off (you literally can’t see it anymore lol) and she hasn’t been itching and scratching more than usual? I’ll go out again tomorrow with some gloves and take some pictures, and are there any guaranteed ways to find out if it’s mites or just paranoia??
