The time of the year or the high temperatures??
Around May time we had a really hot spell for a few weeks and Timmy had a short moult. It then got cool again with lots of rain and he stopped moulting. I thought that was it but now the temperatures are soaring here, he's moulting again :shock: Mimi moutled between the 2 and has now completely stopped (I hope!)
I really loathe moult time, it puts such pressure on their little bodies and Timmy gets moody. Not to mention the amount of time I spend grooming and "plucking" him (i.e. gently teasing out the loose fur with my fingers...he loves it and will sit next to me for ages while I do it!) I'm uber paranoid about blockages and there's fur EVERYWHERE!
Got one lodged in my throat at the moment :roll:
