        Vader lost all the fur around her nose and mouth two nights ago. I had just taken a picture the day before so it was very obvious. It looks like someone shaved her! Any suggestions as to why this might be? There don’t seem to be any scabs, dry patches or redness. She isn’t drooling and doesn’t seem to be in any pain. I also noticed this morning one of them had peed and pooed in their food bowl instead of the hay and the pee was very dark brown and the poop looked like rat poop. Long instead of round, is this normal? I had never seen this before and check their poop often. I am worried and everything I find online is confusing. Any help is appreciated!

          I don’t see a photo but my first and best advice is to have a vet do an exam on her – that is the first thing I would do.

            Ditto. The fur loss would need to be checked out.

            Their urine does turn a deep colour after sitting exposed to the air. That doesn’t sound overly concerning…
            The poos can be odd shapes sometimes when they pass a bit of fur but its worth keeping an eye on of course.

            ETA: Speaking of rat poo, is it possible a rodent got into their area? They are attracted to the feed and hay unfortunately. If there was unwelcome visitor, it might explain why somebunny decided to pee in the food bowl.

              I ditto the others. Sounds like a vet check is in order.
