Why is your rabbit going bald around his eyes and is white and dusty?

Answer 1

Maybe she is building a nest for her babies with her fur, or maybe it itches there and he pulls the fur out to scratch it more easily, but it's best to see a rabbit-savvy vet for this. Go on, shoo!

Answer 2

when a rabbit is felling the heat it usually drops its hair because it is to hot and it is the only defense they have. so if that occurs lay a frozen drink bottle in its cage or hutch.

a rabbit molts just like any other animal, it puts on a warm winter coat in the fall to protect it against the winter weather. In the spring as it starts to warm up, it will shed or moult this winter coat for a shorter, cooler coat to make it thru the summer.

Either that or if all the hair is falling out leaving bare hide the rabbit could have mange or fur mites.

Answer 3

Depnds on where the fur loss is. If it is a female,has been with a male,and is losing fur on its chest,its probably pregnant. If the fur loss is on its butt above the hind legs,there are many reasons. A common reason is that it rests in its urine. This can happen to both male and female. There are other reasons I don't no anything about,so you might want to take it to a vet any ways. Please take this answer to thought. If your rabbit is pregnant,be sure to have a nesting box big enough to stand in. Use hay in the box and let the rabbit do the rest. Be sure to put more hay in if she runs out. That's all I have to say about that!

Could be a natural moult, could be fur mites.

Answer 4

Balding around the eyes in rabbits can be due to several reasons, such as mites, fur chewing, or an underlying health issue. The white and dusty appearance could be related to shedding or poor grooming habits. It is best to consult a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
