I went to brush him recently and his fur was coming out and he ended up with a bald patch, this didnt seem to cause him any discomfort and seems ok in himself.Any ideas please? thanks    Report

They can infest people as well, so you want to be careful! It would be best to take him to your vet for treatment, as the stuff you can get in pet shops is either ineffective or potentially toxic to rabbits. Just realised your message is a few weeks old, so you've probably sorted the problem by now! Cheers, Dee    Report
