Still quite new to the rabbit thing. Rudy has been with me 9 months now although it feels like forever. He entered his first proper full on moult last week since he got here and I was just wondering how long its likely to last. Have been grooming him everyday and the slicker brush is always full of hair at the end. Dont want to make him go bald though :?

moult can take a long or short time , theres no telling. The weather can make a difference if it keeps changing it can slow it down, and some rabbits moult quicker than others.All you can do is groom. sorry its not better news. val

my rabbit's currently moulting but he's still new to us and won't let us handle him let alone brush him. Is there anything i can do to help prevent him getting hairballs?

just make sure he eats lots and lots of hay to push it through nicely!
