Hello!
I have a six year old, male, (quite large) french lop... Since he was a baby, hes always had problems molting. He constantly molts all year round. Is this normal?
He had a brother that died afew years ago and I dont remember him ever having the same problem.
I'm aware that I need to keep on top of grooming him but it just seems impossible. It seems before the new hair has a chance to grow through properly theres another layer of hair waiting to grow through!! He always looks patchy and like hes been pulled through a bush backwards! After I've picked him up to brush him (he hates being picked up) he wont come near me for days / weeks! Its obviously very stressful for him too, so I dont like to destress him too much but its something that has to be done.
Does anybody else have this problem? I just dont know how to get on top of the problem... thanks
