If you think he is unwell you can only call the vet and have him checked! You know him best, so you are the only one able to tell if his behaviour doesn’t feel right

Dear Benthebunny, please try to calm down and breathe! Ear-scratching is not an emergency. If he is scratching his ears like a madbunny, contact your vet and make an appointment. You can examine his ears with a magnifying glass and look for dandruff and/or sores. Your bun could have a skin parasite, but that is so easily remedied.
If you don’t see any skin irritation or dandruff, you can just wipe his ears with a cool compress because that can help soothe an itch.
And try not to worry so much! Ben picks up on your worry, bunnies are very perceptive.

Awww….I have a lot of anxiety too. And I know it can be hard to not worry about your bunny.

Sounds like it could be ear mites. Best to get him checked out at a vet to be sure

Almost never isn’t never And they can be brought in via hay, food, you from outside, bugs, other pets etc. So still best to get him checked out. Ear mites left unchecked can cause some serious damage.

I agree. If he’s scratching a lot, the most likely culprit is mites. And bunny does not need to be outside to get them, as Monkeybun pointed out.

Is he still scratching his ears?

Take a magnifying glass or just sit yourself in a room with very good lighting, with Ben in your knee, and examine his ears. Do you see any crusts, any dandruff or signs of red, irritated skin? (If you see crusts, don’t try to get them off, that will hurt him.)

Crusts indicate ear-mites, dandruff (not just a tiny, tiny bit) indicates fur mites. You need a vet to prescribe the right medication, which is Revolution (selamectin). It’s a bunny-safe spot-on preparation that is applied to the nape of the neck.
Some vets prefer to give ivermectin instead of Revolution. If your bun has a parasite, you need to convince your parents that your bunny needs to see a vet. Esp if it is ear mites.

Do NOT use Frontline or any other anti-parasitics for dogs or cats that has fipronil. It’s very very toxic to rabbits.

I do understand that you have anxiety and that it is bad. What you can do is try to breathe slowly. Anxiety makes it so a person can’t think properly, and that’s not helpful. I’m glad you are here now, hopefully we can be of some help to you with your bunny

I hope it was just sth temporary then. You could add ears to a weekly check-up schedule. You can make a routine of looking at the ears, nails, the front teeth, the butt and anal glands and the underside of the feet once a week. That way you can detect things early, before they become health-issues.
