Wool breeds like fuzzy lops look terrible when shedding. your rabbit may go through light molts throughout the year. during these light molts, you may be able to brush away the dead hair and continue to show your animal with success.. Echo, our 5 month old mixed breed bun, has yet to develop a serious seasonal shed pattern. she has a mixed texture coat made up of thick, glossy guard hairs and two finer, shorter coats.. Well rabbits all have different shedding times. it's totally normal so don't freak out or anything. my rabbit does this all the time. and they'll be times when your rabbit will stop, then continue everyone month..
The shedding process occurs after every 3 months and this is a very hectic and lengthy process. rabbits have dense fur and when they are shedding then it is a lot of fur.. Normally, dutch rabbits go through a molting about every three months like other breeds do. shedding is normal and as long as you are not finding any bald spots or skin irritation, it is not a sign of illness.. Lisa is right in that rabbits do shed several times a year, usually every three months or so. they will alternate a light shed, which you may or may not notice, followed by a heavy shed, which you will most definitely notice. like cats, rabbits are very meticulous about grooming..
