I have noticed both my Netherland dwarfs are shedding their fur is this normal? I am told its normal to shed their fur

Can any one help me on this please? :D
 
Molting is normal, when they get rid of one coat for another. Like they should be getting rid of their winter coat for a shorter summer coat about now. Some rabbits can shed loads of fur and look like a right mess. I think you only have to worry if they've got any bald patches.

You can help them by brushing their fur to get loose bits out. :)
