When do rabbits moult?

Hi
I was wondering when rabbits moult for their winter coat because mine are 16 weeks old, and they haven't moult at all. A few hairs come out sometimes, but most people on here say it's everywhere. :? I'm confused. Do baby bunnies moult later?
 
It varies. Sasuke had a mayor molt a few weeks ago but Aroma's only just started. Zakura molted more or less the whole summer.
Usually they molt in spring and autumn, and youngsters eventually loose their baby fur (which is one of the reasons I actually think most rexes are cutest as adults:D Sasuke was almost curly as a kit...) that is around 3-5 months I think....not sure.
