Moulting?

I'm not sure about the answer :? I was thinking about that the other day though.
As for my buns, some of them are in a constant moult cycle, while others rarely moult.

should have two seasonal moults. one in spring/early summer and a second in the winter, though house rabbits kept at more or less a constant temprature seem to moult al year round.
 
Thanks! Was just wondering. One of mine moulted in winter, and she's mouting again now even though she's an indoor rabbit. It has gone freezing though, but then...it's been freezing for months now!
 
I'm not sure I'd recognise moulting if Isaw it on Bob, every time I pick him up he leaves what seems like half his body in hair on me - though he is all white and it does sow up easily on all my dark clothes!
 
I've just noticed that my two are moulting at the moment, but I thought it would be alittle bit early for this??
 
i notice that as soon as the temperature in the house goes a bit warmer he sheds like a fat man trying to get rid of a fur coat. this has happened at all kinds of odd times throughout the year with no logic, so it seems to be strictly temperature related. tho the worst of it did seem to be last fall.
 
I read somewhere that buns moult every 3 months or so. They just shed their coat irrelevent to the weather. Orio does moult every 3 months, Pepper is having her first proper moult now and she is nearly a year old.
