  Even if you dont have a rabbit savvy vet, you can still get treatment for mites, or have a vet examine for other little creepy crawlies, as it definitely sounds like your bunny has picked something up and its causing him a lot of irritation. Mites can be very hard to see, and even after examination may not show up-bit preventative treatments are still recommended in situations like this.
  Some places do over the counter treatments for mites and other parasites that are bunny safe, which might be worth looking into.
  Please dont leave it untreated as they can make rabbits very ill in a relatively short time

  It’s not like an emergency, but in the next few weeks. My boys had mites a year ago and we couldn’t get them in for about 2-3 weeks after we noticed symptoms. It was a littlle uncomfortable for them, but they survived. In the meantime, brush him. Brushing will help relieve any itching he has and he’ll enjoy a good bit.
