Moulting

Hi, this might sound mad but What age do rabbits start moult? Do house bunnies moult as much as outdoor buns? and how many times a year do they moult?
 
They normally moult out their baby fur at roughly 12-16 weeks (but it can be earlier, or later). House rabbits can moutl as much as outside rabbits. Normally they moult four times a year, but only two of those are massive, but with the really dodgy weather some rabbits seem to be moulting all over the place and when they shouldn't. Health, conditions and stress also impacts on moult.

Thanks for that, I was curious as lots of people seem to have lots of fur flying around but not here! Hector is five months old now and an indoor bun and no moult yet x
