Hello :wave:

I'm not sure to be honest if it's normal, depends how bad it is. :? Rabbits do lose a huge amount of fur when they moult though.

Could you post some pics maybe?
 
Yes this is normal a lot of bunnies are having a very heavy moult this year.Mine look like tramps at the moment:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
 
Looks very like my fella... he's really moulting and looks like something I've dragged through a hedge. Bless him!
