Has anyone ever seen anything like this? One of my does has lost most of the hair on her face. Here's a link with pictures

You have probably already found out but that looks like either mange, a bad fungal skin infection or those little teeny mites that can burrow up under the skin and cause their hair to fall out. It sounds weird but rabbits can also be overstressed and will lose their hair but that usually happens all over their body
