Hi! Recently I noticed one of my Holland Lop brood does has missing fur around her paws. She has bare toes and then further up her foot there are a couple patches missing. Another doe of my friends who lives in a different city and is not related to this other doe at all had this exact same thing happen. We are wondering if this is an infection/sickness that is causing fur loss? Or are the buns pulling the fur due to stress? The first bun did it after a pregnancy, and the second one did it when she was 5 months old - either could have been stressed because of hormones but it just seemed weird that they would pull their toe fur. Attached are photos of both the girls feet, and any insight is welcome!
