  I’ve attached a pic of the back of my bunny’s ear, although this problem is on both of them. It’s only on the back and she doesn’t have crust inside her ear. It feels dry and looks flaky. Any idea what this could be???

  I don’t see any crust. It just looks flaky. It could be mites or it could just be dry skin. Is she molting at all?

  Yeah, it looks like the dry skin Teddy started to get a few years ago. It doesn’t seem to bother him much (though his case is worse). Our vet said we could use MalAcetic wet wipes. We didn’t find they made much of a difference, but you might get different results.
  
  Good luck — and don’t worry too much! 🙂
