Question:

My bunny is shedding like crazy right now, is this normal?

Answer:

Hi L!

This is quite normal, especially at this time of year! Rabbits tend to shed every 3-4 months with a big shed in the Fall to get their winter coat in and again in the Spring! Depending on the type of coat your rabbit has they may shed a little here and there or they may be losing a lot of hair at once. Some rabbits even get bald patches before their new fur begins to grow back in. This can be a very stressful time for your rabbit so you can help them by brushing your rabbit once or twice daily and removing any loose tufts of hair.
