Malting

I think Bramble is losing his winter coat. When stroking him, I can pull out hair very easily. This is normal isn't it and nothing to worry about?
 
Yup. All four of mine are looking distinctly 'scraggy-ar$ed' at the moment :lol: It won't hurt to groom the loose hair out of them.
 
I'm glad I'm not the only one, my bun looks like noone owns him! And thats with me brushing him regularly!
 
Just replied to the thread below. (We have probs with gut slowing down with heat).

If Bramble's also moulting, it's so important to keep as much fur out of the gut as poss by brushing & if he's getting crotchety, damp down your hands or wear a pair of damp cotton gloves & stroke him a lot - to get out the fur. If in a pair they'll groom each other so if the other is also in moult need to brush both of them. [helps to prevent gut probs from fur balls]
