Hi - have been putting my neutered male in a large cage next to the run where the doe and kits are so mum and dad can get used to each other again slowly. Nothing to worry about there but Pip, the dad, is moulting like mad and someone said it could be stress cos he's close to the others - especially the kits. Can anyone put me staight please? :?

A lot of bunnies are moulting at this time of year - poor Twinkle is in one hell of a state but in a few weeks she should be looking like a princess again 
Has your bun been acting normally or does he appear stressed. If he is acting like he normally does and is eating, drinking etc then I would think it is just a big moult.
I must admit it is quite scary when you see the huge tufts that they loose - Twinkle is a jet black bunny but is loosing her white undercoat and it ooks very odd - I could make a jumper with the fur that she has lost. :shock:

Hi Pam - thanks for the reply. Pip is acting normally in every way - growling at me when I change his bed etc!! He will soon be back with Polly and hopefully calm down under the care of a lady! :roll:
It is scary the amount of fur he seems to be losing - he'll end up like my old man if he doesnt stop soon :lol: :lol:
