theres nothing you can do just comb him as often as he will let you and dampen hands then run them up and down his coat will help to get read of lose hairs

My rabbit is the same 'model' as yours and I know what you mean - it is absolutely ridiculous at the moment. I have filled carrier bags full of fur from him moulting. It is never ending. At present he looks as if he has a different rabbit's rear end as he has long fur here and short hair everwhere else......I'd be grateful for a solution too!

kittymalt is a preparation you can get from pet shops (its for cats) that prevents hair balls. my vet says it doesnt work and is just a money spinner and hay does the job better!

you could try sunflower seeds the white ones but doesnt use to many as they hake there blood warmer and in this waether thats no good!

Some of the breeders use a particular preparation but I can't remember what it is. I'll have a look to see if I can find it.

I wasn't meaning kittymalt, kittymalt is to help the gut pass any hair through. I was meaning a preparation that helps to speed up the moulting process :wink:
