Unusual Moulting.

Apollo

The above photo was Apollo back in Feb/Mar he was starting to lose his winter coat ready for his summer one. Surprisingly, he didn’t moult much more than a handful at a time. In fact everyone had a very straightforward, not much to comb moult which was unusual. However, this is not the case for some of the bunnies as they now lose their summer coat. This moult also seems to have come a little earlier than normal too, I’ve not really had it before in July it’s usually been more Sept or August at the earliest.

As you can see Apollo is having a very different moult this time. Scruffy!

Peanut is another bunny who is starting to moult alot.  This is very unusual for him. I never really have to comb him but this moult is so different.

Peanut after his comb. The majority I got from his back & I got many more combfuls.
This was only a few days later. Note how he has a large moulted patch & the fur is now shedding towards his rump.

As for the rest they are very much like Molly:

No sign of a moult yet.

At least that’s only a small amount of combing on top of the usual three coats that need twice weekly grooming . If you’d like to know more about moulting please click here.
