Moulting... Empty Moulting...

Hi Guys,

Just wondered if you can help. Does anyone know how long a rabbit usually moults for or does it depend on the breed? Tuffers is a giant lop and he leaves a trail of fur wherever he goes at the mo. Fed up of hoovering! Rolling Eyes Cheers

Nope - but ours are moulting one after the other. As soon as one has finished the next starts Sad

We have just got to the end of Gabriel's moult, and he is the worst of the lot. Lo and behold, Rosie has now kicked off Rolling Eyes

Mine are all small and the amount of fur is mind boggling. I dread to think how much fur Tuffers sheds Shocked

Seems like mine are moulting all year round Rolling Eyes I can tell a difference at the change of the seasons, when it starts to get warm/cold their coat changes quite a bit. That's always a much heavier moult and for mine usually lasts a month or two.

Felix is always losing a little bit constantly. I just watched a Big Tit going into his hutch and picking up all the piles of spare fur for its nest. So cute Love Love
