I can't tell exactly from the picture where the scabs are, but if Akira has a wet or snotty nose or is sneezing he may have respiratory disease, and this is a cause for concern. He could be pawing at his nose trying to get rid of nasal discharge and causing the scratches. If not, and there is no snotty nose or sneezing, and he lives in a wire cage, he could be scraping it on that, or have a bacterial infection that needs looked at by a rabbit vet. Mites or some other kind of infection are a possibility as well.
