          I’m not certain about the flaxseed oil. I do know that when my rabbits moult their fur is dull – the fur that is moulting that is. I think combing and combing and combing will help – we all know that when it like this that’s about all you can do. My dutch Mango is going through this right now and a few of my other rabbits and it does seem now matter how much I brush and comb it never ends – very frustrating.

            yeah those molts.   I have furminator comb and works great on long hair buns too just have to havae a light hand as the tool is heavy.  cotton started his shedding and I don’t know if was  molt yet and after using that tool he  does not seem to be shedding and I used it twice tonite I am going to skip it and seee. if it was a molt tho I think maybe he would still be shedding but not sure since this brush works soooo good. but yes brush is about all you can do all day all nite and such lol just kidding at that last part.

                  yeah – that’s normal.  The stuff that’s about to come loose looks dull and patchy.
