Excessive moulting!

Hi!

I've just got back from 2 weeks holiday and OH has been looking after the rabbits, brushing them everyday etc, but Timmy is moulting really badly it's a big worrying! He looks like a big fluff ball and although he will sit still for me to pull out the big bits sometimes it feels like i'm hurting him! Is it normal for rabbits to moult badly? He has been all summer really but it's gone crazy recently!

Any thoughts?

Does he look something similar to this?



My bunnies go through crazy moults, my female, Domino particularly (blue butterfly bun in my avatar), she was even moulting like this in winter :shock: I dont have any pics of her like that though.

My advice is just to continue brushing him daily, and give him either papaya tablets or pineapple juice to help break down any hair he ingests during grooming

Very impressive moult 10/10!

It's similar to that but the chunks of hair are a little smaller! Thanks for that, it's good to know it's normal! How should I give the pineapple juice? Do you add it to the water or put in with the food?

i buy a whole fresh pineapple and cut it up myself to make sure all the goodness is still there and theres no added sugar. My 2 a nice fresh pineapple chunk! I only give it to them about twice a week when they're moulting heavily xxx

My 2 look like they are wearing tu-tus. they have very fluffy bums!:lol:
