Shedding is influenced by day length and by the rabbit's hormone levels. when the skin looks healthy and normal, heavy shedding isn't a problem. if it's very flaky - like a bad case of dandruff - you may be dealing with fur mites.. Rabbits start shedding from their nose and then the shedding gradually works it way down their spine to the end of their tail. the reason grooming during molting is important, is that you don't want them to ingest any hair and get a hairball.. My rabbit had started to shed a lot! around her bottom area and her lower back too. please help me. a lady at petco said that if you notice bald spots then you need to take her to the vet..
Shed season is the only time of year when he enjoys our help in grooming, the rest of the time, he would prefer to do it himself thankyouverymuch. luckily, bean has never developed a problem with ingested fur. but we have started giving him dried cranberries, pineapple, and papaya tablets as a preventative.. Rabbits will shed in different ways. some rabbits will take a couple of weeks or more to loose their old coat of fur. other rabbits will be ready to get rid of their old coats all in one day and these rabbits are the ones that cannot be neglected once they start shedding.. Rabbits go through periods of fur growth and renewal beginning at the head and ending with the tail, however, depending on the rabbit, it can also start in other body locations, e.g., the back region; with all shedding varying widely from one rabbit to another:.
