this might be a daft question but if u dont ask you dont find out.
when rabbits shed their winter coat do they look thinner.
iv been noticing biffy and benny not looking their usual large fluffy selfs lately and iv been finding alot of fur in their bed area.
they still have little fat tums even though theyve been eating less over the last few weeks but iv put that down to eating more hay i think:?
any ideas:)

Are they outdoor bunnies?
Mine are all house rabbits and I can't say I've noticed them looking thinner after moulting, but then I know outdoor bunnies have thicker coats than house rabbits anyway. Hopefully someone knows more :rolleyes:
 
yeah biffy and benny are outside rabbits.i know when they got their winter coats they were big fluffy things but now their not so big n fluffy.i dont know if thats because theyve shed their coat or not:oops:
 
Winter coats are thicker and fluffier than summer ones, mine are just starting to moult, and look less fluffy, and a shade lighter in colour!
