So I've had Lilac and Teddy since December last year. Lilac has had one full moult but Teddy hasn't. I noticed a while ago he was a bit dandruffy and was worried he might have mites. I had him checked out by a vet who said he had no sign of mites. He's not itchy or bothered in any way and his coat is shiny and soft. Lilac's coat is also in very good condition, no sign of dandruff or anything like that.
About a week ago I noticed he was moulting but in an unusual pattern. He has no tide lines and the moult is quite patchy, just a few strands coming out here and there when I stroke him.
I was stroking him this morning and noticed a huge patch of loose fur, I teased it out and saw underneath some very short stubby black fur (see picture).
Should I be concerned about this type of moult? Is it something more? I've seen some stuff online that suggests it could be a blown coat but as I've never seen a rabbit moult like this I'm a bit worried! Also worried that if he carries on moulting in this way he'll have no fur to keep him warm!
