Is it a rabbit version of alopecia areata? I'm asking because both of my sons have alopecia areata (they're human, not rabbit) and have the most extreme version, universalis, which is pretty much what this rabbit has.
Because both of my sons went totally bald very young, the first at age 4, the second at age 10, and because both were somewhat small for their age, I often got lots of sympathy from people who took one look at the bald kid (or kids, later on) and assumed the worst: cancer, chemotherapy. But no. They were not sick at all.
My favorite story related to this is one time we were waiting to board a flight at the St Louis airport. The boys and I arrived at the gate ahead of dad/husband, as he needed to have his ticket rewritten. My two bald sons were happily playing in the gate area. A while after boarding was announced, I sent them on board by themselves. They were experienced travellers at this point, and I knew they could find their seats just fine. A few minutes later my husband showed up. The gate agent got my attention, and said, "I have something for you." She handed me four first class boarding passes. Wow. I knew it was because she'd made the assumption about cancer and chemotherapy, but I was not about to disabuse her.
Ever after, whenever we were flying somewhere, I'd tell my sons. "Look pitiful!"
