         I was giving Logan a very thorough grooming last night (he hates to be brushed, so I usually just run a brush over him quickly and do a good grooming once a week or so), and when I got to the area above his tail, a bunch of hair fell out!  As in, clumps of hair were getting stuck in the brush.  I know when Bailey sheds, big clumps will come out, so I just assumed Logan was finally shedding, since he didn’t really shed in the spring.  However… now he has a bald-ish spot on his back, right above his tail.  There’s new hair growth- the soft fuzzy stuff- on the patch, but it looks a little horrifying to me.  He’s also getting mats in his tail (lots of really little, but really stuck-together ones), and I couldn’t work all of them out because he was getting so upset/nervous/reaaaally wanted to be left alone Should I put something on his bald spot, like neosporin?  Am I supposed to cut the mats on his tail, or is there a better way to remove those?  

        ^ This is the bald-ish spot, right above his tail.  The pink is skin, and the gray is the new fuzz coming through.

          My rabbits always seem to get mats and weird clumps of fur in that area. Just leave it be, it will heal.

            Looks like some weird shedding, but nothing more. Mine lose a lot of clumps from that area and get weird mats as well.

              My bunnies get the same thing- I think because that area is not easily self-groomed.

                That’s a relief, thanks guys! Logan will be happy that I’ll stop fussing over it now
