This can sometimes leave small bald patches on the rabbit. if the rabbit is healthy the bald spots will begin to become pigmented by new hair growth and then start to grow normally. the rabbits molt usually begins on the head, moving down the neck and back then towards the stomach, but some rabbits molt in patches all over their bodies.. It's like he shed his winter coat without a spring one growing in. i don't know what to do, i feel like the worse bunny mom in the world. edit: i called the vet this morning and she said it's totally normal for them to get bald spots when they're shedding and the hair should start to grow back in a few days.. Shedding is normal and as long as you are not finding any bald spots or skin irritation, it is not a sign of illness. most likely, if she is a house rabbit where the temperature is fairly constant, the molting process ends up being gradual and seemingly constant..
That may be the house or the backyard or the run. but it must be vacuumed and any fur or dander that the rabbit may have shed prior to the treatment must be removed. scratchy skin. rabbits can develop bald patches or flakes on their skin due to mites. sometimes, it can also be caused due to an allergy triggered by fleas.. I noticed yesterday my rabbit has several bald spots (completely bald down to the skin) on her back. she is about 2, otherwise in good health, and the skin is not broken and looks healthy. the bald patches are pale pink skin, she is a black furred rabbit.. � severity of shedding: progressive loss of old hair, or even suddenly in patches; � types of fur, short haired, fuzzy, angora. the new hair is generally darker. when a rabbit is shedding, it should be brushed daily..
