How long does it take for fur to grow back??

Timmy had to be shaved during his op, and hes still bald there. Does it take long to grow back x
 
One of ours wasn't totally furred up for what seemed like forever after her op - must have been about a year. One of the others grew it back in a few weeks, and one a few months.
 
My experience is like both replies.
Benjie grows his back very quickly but is in permanent moult.
Thumper didn't grow his back until the next moult.
 
It can depend on whereabouts on the body it is too. Alfie had his leg and his ears shaved for an op and the fur on his leg grew back much quicker than that on his ears.
 
Timmys fur is very short, and he hasnt gone through a moult yet since Ive had him. Hopefuly he wont be bald there forever x
 
as others have said with the next moult, my buns when they have had their ears shaved its took roughly 6months
 
Lola's tummy was shaven and that grew back within the week, myself and the vet were shocked at how quickly it grew back in :shock: When she gets her ears shaved they grow back within 3 weeks or so, she super fast at growing fur :D Just depends on the rabbit I guess :)
 
Shadowfax was speyed at the end of August (I think!) and she grew some of her back really quickly..now she has patchy bits that are completely bald. She has had her moult but her tum is still as bald as a coot. :lol: I find it rather cute, and I think it's more noticeable because she's a black bunny and he rskin is very pale. I think she will take a while to grow the rest back and I'm not worried about it since she's an indoor bun now. :)
