dry flakey skin ?

[MariaG]

my bunnys been molting for about 5 weeks, almost all his new coat has grown in except a few parts where the old fur hasnt come out yet. he has a bald spot kind of behind his leg, near his but/tail. its just pink skin and its been like that for about a week and no new fur has grown in. (he started molting when he lived outside, and he shed like crazy but now that i brought him inside to live hes like stopped molting completely and the old fur wont come out and new fur isnt growing. ) so i checked the spot near his tail and today i saw like 2 tiny little flakes. i think hes getting dry skin. he doesnt have flakes anywhere else except that spot and i did have to bathe him twice this week because his back feet were covered in dirt and pineapple juice but i only put like 2 inches of water in the tub just so his feet got wet nothing else. could this be why hes getting dry skin ? can i put like baby oil on the spot or olive oil ? maybe baby skin cream ?

Baths are not recommended for bunnies because of the stress it causes them. If you can, next time maybe try cleaning him off with a damp facecloth. Did you use any soap or shampoo? That could definitely cause flakes.
