Therefore domestic rabbits seem to have a more variable moulting pattern. some rabbits and especially house rabbits will appear to moult almost constantly! when rabbits moult, they typically start by shedding fur from their head, which spreads down the neck and back and then down the sides of their body, finishing on their rump.. Rabbits will shed in different ways. some rabbits will take a couple of weeks or more to loose their old coat of fur. other rabbits will be ready to get rid of their old coats all in one day and these rabbits are the ones that cannot be neglected once they start shedding.. I wanted to know if rabbits "molt". it seems my little one is shedding more than usual. when i pet her clumps of her fur come off! this has never happened before. i just got her spayed about 3 days ago. is this normal? is she stressed (cuz it's making me.
Some rabbits will take a couple of weeks or more to loose their old coat of fur. other rabbits will be ready to get rid of their old coats all in one day and these rabbits are the ones that cannot be neglected once they start shedding.. The average normal water intake for rabbits is 50-150 ml/kg body weight daily. this is the general expectation of water consumption, since rabbits that are fed large amounts of water-containing foods, such as leafy vegetables, will drink less water than those that are on a dry diet of hay and pellets.. Now with that said. i really only notice my bunnies shedding no more than three times a year, and one time is heavy while the other two are light. some bunnies go through what i call the "explosion" molt, and shed everything within a few days - week. while others can shed heavy but gradually, over a few weeks time..
