Moulting

How many times does a rabbit moult before winter?

A few weeks ago she finally stopped after looking like this for a while

but yesterday she has started again on her head... and a small patch on her side now... :(
 
I think that if she has no bald patches and her fur is getting thicker as it starts getting colder she should be fine. Now (mid October) my rabbit still has a bit of moulting but his fur is starting to get thicker. Keep an eye on it ;)
 
What, you mean they actually stop moulting ...? :roll: :lol:

Mine were a mess, like yours (the neighbour asked what was wrong with them!) but now their fur is all one level again but they're still losing clumps out their bums - though the fur level has stayed the same. In the summer they had the thicker fur which was coming out in chunks and looked a mess, but they also had a smoother, shorter length fur. As I say, it's all grown back now though they still look a little tatty around their bottoms. I love plucking it out if they stand still long enough; it still comes out in sheets if I get the right bit, but no "bald" patches anymore.
