        I noticed today that two of my netherland dwarfs have weird patches of missing fur near their mouth/nose today. It wasn’t like that yesterday although I noticed that the fur around the mouth/nose of one of them was a lot darker than the rest of her body during the last 2 weeks.

        I’m wondering if this is just normal shedding or if it could be something else ? 

        thanks a lot !

          This is a bit of a tricky one. I have never seen this pattern before, I hope someone else here has.

          If there are mites or other external parasites, you should see some signs of sth not being right like dandruff-like flakes, some redness/irritation of the skin, possibly itching, sometimes scabs. On your pics the skin looks uncompromized though.

          Are they acting their normal selves? (Eating, drinking, pooping, playing?)

            Hi,

            Thanks for your quick answer.

            There aren’t any dandruff-like flakes and like you said, the skin doesn’t look compromised. Also, I can touch it and it doesn’t seem to bother them at all.

            They are acting their normal selves and eating/drinking/pooping/playing and even binking!

            Thanks
