Molting Question??

Hi

When we had that cold snap a few weeks ago. One of my Rex Rabbits, has started molting, is this normal for a Rabbit to molt in the Winter. They usually start molting in the spring, and go on all spring and summer with there molt.
 
I am a relatively new rabbit-owner, we got our first about 2 years ago, so I'm sure that others with more experience will be able to answer more authoritatively. However, our black Holland Lop molts constantly, come rain or shine. Just as one cycle ends, you can see another molt line appearing around his nose. He has a lovely shiny thick coat and we have just resigned ourselves to grooming him gently every day.
