Shedding

[NightPoet00]

I know that rabbits shed their fur about 3 timesa year. Well, Winston seems to be right in the middle of a molt. I feellike it's been lasting forever though...when does it end?

I think it depends on the rabbit. Onzlo seems tonever stop. Well... He'll take a couple of weeks off every once and andwhile if I'm lucky but that's about it. Bella, on the other hand, hasonly had one major molt.

Apollo has really been shedding alot. Part of itis he's not getting something he needs from the pellets he's on. U amgoing this week to get a better quality pellet. When they shed so muchfor so long, to me it increases their chance of getting G.I. Stasis orfur block.

You can look at the cheat sheet above about nutrition. I am alsoconcerned about fur block from ingesting all that extra hair. I brushApollo more, keep an eye on his poops, and he has unlimited hay Thecheat sheet can explain it better than I can.

Tell me about it. Emmy's shedding truck loads offur! Every once in a while I have to take out her comb and startbrushing her from head to tail! LOL! But, to help your bun out in themolting/ shedding process try brushing your bun frequently during theweek. I've also heard of giving your rabbit alfafa I believe? I'm notsure whats it called. It just slipped out of my head a second ago. Tryalso giving it dried pineapple so that when your bun grooms itself, itsdigestive system could be cleared out. { fur and all } Good Luck!

Emmy, I think you're meant Petromalt for hairballs.

Canned Pumpkin also helps, as does an increase in timothy hay. I don't think a small one inch ribbon of Nutrical can't hurt.

Daisy is in the middle of a massive shed. I think I could construct a new rabbit! LOL

I think Nutrical has something in it to keep them going, but it alsohas added calories, so Petromalt or Laxatone might be betteralternatives. I've also been giving canned pumpkin every day.
