If your rabbit indoor kept, he will shed year round. I have a short haired rabbit and just rescued a long haired one (now shaved due to former owner letting him grossly mat). You need to brush your rabbit several times a week, daily is better though especially if long haired. My indoor only cats even shed year round whereas my ones that are both indoor/outdoor shed a lot less, just like a indoor verses outdoor kept rabbit will. Use a comb and a brush meant for cats or small dogs, they work the best. Keep scissors nearby if you can't get a tangle out. From this rabbit not being groomed for a very long time, it took my daughter 3 hours just to cut the mats off and the vet 1/2 hour to shave off what she couldn't get. These people thought they had a gray Angora/Lop Eared mix, well they had a Dalmatian Angora/Lop Eared mix instead.Why does my rabbit shed tons of excess fur all year around?
its normal and good . mine lived to be 12
if long haired than just needs brushed more
Rabbits and cats and other animals shed a lot. they shed cause it means that they are getting new fur and or cause they are getting old. My cat sheds a lot cause he is getting old. OK
