Bunny Molt

Bunny molt and shedding is often a concern of new and seasoned domestic rabbit families.
Lately our Rex has been in a major shed. We were surprised. Her last shed/molt was back in February which was in synch with the molt of our dear Clover who passed on at the end of February.

I learned from posts on ravelry.com, that great fiber site, that a number of other rabbit families were experiencing May molt.

What we've learned includes: 1- get the 'furminator' recommended by our bunny vet Dr. Hess (see previous entries) and 2- if all else fails coincide the regular bunny check up with molt and ask the bunny vet to shave if necessary.
