Hi!
Our female rabbit Luna had a bald spot on the side of her face by her eye. Today, she has a spot on her forhead. I don't see any flaky skin or sores. I'm perplexed. She's in a cage by herself, next to two other rabbits in their own hanging cages.
Do you guys have any ideas?
Could a rabbit next to her be picking at her? Could she be stressed out?
Thank you.

How close to the others? Could they reach through the bars?
It also could be stress pulling
 
Any chance she's rubbing the fur off when trying to get that last morsel at the bottom of the feeder? One of mine had the same pattern, even the bald spot by only 1 eye.
 
Well, I had to go outside late last night to the shed and decided to take a peek at them. Looks like the neighboring doe, HopHop, is pulling her fur. I put a shield up (plastic cutting board) between them. Poor bunny lol. Do they pull fur from rabbits as something aggressive?
 
I thought so but my husband was worried.
Here are our other cuties. The grey one is who was grooming the black rabbit.
