It really depends on where they live. If they are outside, they tend to moult in the Spring (getting rid of their winter coat) and then they grow another thick coat at the end of Autumn. I think indoor bunnies are different. However, my buns tend to leave a lot of hair on me at any time of the year! Laughing

Usually it is twice a year but sometimes it can be more.

They can shed more when they are younger as well, the first year can be quite hairy Smile
