Dry, crusty nose and paw pads in a rabbit can indicate a few things. Sometimes it's due to environmental dryness or mild irritation. However, it can also point to more concerning issues like cheyletiellosis (walking dandruff mites), fungal infections (ringworm), bacterial infections, or even underlying systemic diseases affecting skin health. If you notice persistent crusting, redness, itching, hair loss around these areas, or if your rabbit is showing other signs of discomfort or illness, it's best to have them examined by a rabbit-savvy veterinarian.
