        before i start the bunny seems to be in absolute perfect health still playing and jumping around, eating fine and there are no changes in behavior whatsoever but i’m still concerned because i don’t know if this is sore hocks or no she doesn’t live in caged wire and is out of the cage 8 hours a day and as far as i know bunnys don’t get sore hocks in their front legs? what i discovered was in the front leg and on the toes (kind of) and on her back/hind leg and because i don’t know how to arrach pictures to posts i made an ig account to post the picture so you guys can see her legs link: https://instagram.com/p/BcoNVVVlIMc/

            Sore hocks are usually the back heels of the back feet, not the toes unless its really bad, but sore hocks is never on the top of the foot. It looks more like a skin condition, like syphilis or ringworm.

              That looks like a skin condition that needs to be professionally assessed before if gets worse. It does not look like ringworm, but maybe an infected would or something. You should book an appointment with a rabbit vet. It’s hard to tell from the photos, but they do provide some insight that that is not sore hocks, in my opinion.
