  So Boston brought mites here when we got him and Oakley’s caught them. Both have been treated with revolution awhile ago
  But Oakley’s ears still have the crusty feel on the backs 2 months later – does it ever go away ? Or do they scar?

  Once the mites infestation is completely over, I imagine with time the skin will regenerate. Have you tried moisturising to help speed up the healing? The same ointments that help with sore hocks should do the trick and you’d only need a tiny bit once a day or so.

  What is the moisturiser called?
  If it’s bunny specific I doubt we would have it here

  It varies. It’s basically diaper rash cream. The one I have is called Sudocrem.

  Not used for mites, so not sure how it will work in your situation, but Olivia used to get very dry skin on her ears and I would use a few little dabs of mineral oil and massage it. Worked well.

  If been using grapeseed oil on Lancelot a ears, every second day. It does help. The hair has grown back, and his ears aren’t itchy anymore. But still crusty. Ill definitely try mineral oil and sudocrem and see which helps more…
