My female Californian has started losing fur on her rear and her skin/fur appears purplish in color on hear rear and underside. Otherwise she appears healthy: active, fully alert, eating (as best I can tell). The coloring looks kinda like a big bruise but she shows no sign of pain when poked /prodded. In eastern NC and it has been rather rainy and hot lately . I have her and 2 bucks in a roughly 30 x30 run.ImageUploadedByHomesteading Today1407693153.344929.jpgImageUploadedByHomesteading Today1407693322.414827.jpgImageUploadedByHomesteading Today1407693342.152877.jpg

Poor girl, 2 bucks.
Please don't take this the wrong way but your rabbit is losing her fur because she is filthy. With 2 bucks chasing her all the time I'm sure she is spending a lot of time with her belly plastered to the ground. She really shouldn't be housed with 2 bucks. And they all need some place to get out of the wet mud.
By 30 x 30, I assume you mean feet. Section off a portion for her alone. Get the run dried out or covered and give them places to get off the ground and out of the weather.

is the ground wet muddy or swampy ?; that looks to be the trouble put her up in a dry cage with a wire floor hi dry and clean

Thanks. My thoughts were it is due the wet conditions; have had a lot of rain lately. Have shelter and cement slabs that they can get out if the weather but they seem to prefer being out in the rain. Have added 2 nz/Cali does.

could it be flea bites?

I looked her over pretty good and There doesn't appear to be any bites or sign of fleas.

She needs a bit of peace from the bucks and the mud. I would also use an antifungal medicine on her.

Raising rabbits on the ground would not be my first choice. I have tried it in the past, and now I will never house then in anything other than suspended cages.

Good luck
