Never relax

After the last couple of horrendous months with Henry I was just starting to relax.
He's doing really well, I told myself.
He's eating like a ravenous shark, I told myself.
He's taking the Baytril with no side effects, I told myself.
His poops are splendid, magnificent, glorious, I told myself.
He's as cheeky as old Nick, I told myself.
He's binkying freely again, I told myself.

Then I saw it.....
The dread stripe across his nose......

HE'S MOULTING

I noticed the stripes on MJs back this morning!

I am so sorry love, is it guaranteed to be a bad time or might it be OK?  I am lucky with Holly, I hardly notice it when she has a moult.

Last year at this time Henry had a mini moult which, while bad enough, wasn't nowhere near as horrendous as his summer moult when he was hardly eating, got an hairy tummy and had a more-or-less permanently blocked nose (with his own fur). It was three months of hell.
I'm hoping this another mini moult. I'm not up to a BIG JOB yet.

Everything crossed for you both darling that this is just a mini moult. You are also in my prayers.

Well I plucked his face today!

(Now that has gotta be one of the daftest posts on HH to date.)

hahaha! never plucked a face, but often had to pluck backends lol. One rabbit i had once used to really enjoy it.

hows it going?

Face plucked to perfection... I think!

Ha ha, Oh bless him, I love plucking the fur out when they are moulting I find it therapeutic.  Holly has so few strands though and I don't think I have ever seen one on her face.

rabbit version of the barbers perhaps

Artemis is starting to moult a little around her eyes - makes her look quite surprised lol

The Zoom Groom came out tonight.
His face is okay but his cheeks are shedding.
I have to tie a handkerchief over my nose when I'm grooming him, I can't handle the fur up my nose.

Sometimes I used t sneeze a lot when grooming bunnies in the past too love, I am just glad I no longer have hay fever.

I sneezed out a wad of fur this morning.... just like the ones Henry sneezes out.... MOULTS

I sympathies with you Dee. Vernon is in a full one and doesn't like plugging.lol

Henry isn't too bad. When I first got it he hated the Zoom Groom, but now he gets all unnecessary about it, going daft licking the carpet throughout a session"

Charlie has an overly fluffy rear!

What are they thinking its too cold!!!

Not cold in my sitting room and though several times a day he has the opportunity to roam throughout the house he just hops through into the dining room. There he seems to quickly realise the temperature as dropped a few degrees and spins round heading for the fireside.
He loves his comforts.

My bedroom is always warm so Holly has somewhere to go if she feels chilly.  Being a Rex and having very little fur, I think she does sometimes feel the cold.
