  Splash looks like he’s missing clumps of fur near his stomach… He’s a house bunny so he rarely goes outside, so I don’t think he has parasites. However this doesn’t look like molting either (I heard molting starts from the back?)

  I think he’s just shedding. It doesn’t always start from the back. Seperate the fur and see if you can see new fur growing in. If you want to see if he has mites, there will be bald spots with scabs.

  Looks like molting to me. Some bunnies molt in patterns, some (like mine) just lose chunks all over. My Bindi has a big bald spot on his bum right now.

  Mocha looses her fur in sort of lines. Right now she has a big bald line across her back. Rumpus just looses it in random puffs

  Molting can start anywhere. One time Porky started at the eyebrows. We all had a good laugh at his expense.

  Looks like molting to me too. Marlee had three spots on her back right up by her shoulders. I had the vet take a look and sure enough, it was molt and new fur was growing.

  Mine look like that now as well. Looks like a molt to me too. As long as you don’t see anything unusual and the skin is a normal colour, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.
