That doesn’t sound like a stress molt.   It is very important to groom her.  Also you may try plucking out the loose fur.  Regardless of her being upset go ahead and groom her.  That is a lot of hair to ingest. 

Some may suggest adding petromalt as well.   Mine won’t eat it so I stick it on their front foot. They get angry but they do eat it off to clean themselves. So angry or not at least they are getting what is necessary.    Grooming and petromalt.  I dont’ use petromalt a whole lot but when I notice pearl poops I know it is time to try it.

Cotton doesn’t like being groomed but I do it anyways.  I dread when his next shed or molt is coming. He isn’t even shedding and is fussy and keeps jumping onto me so I have to catch him.  He is trying to avoid being groomed. Little brat.  Buns are something else.  Just dont’ know what is good for them I tell you.

Honestly that sounds like Cocos last molt – I referred to it as her rabbit toupee – that whole circle on her back was the first to go…then downwards.

She would only allow me one intentional groom a day – in the morning, when she was blissed out after her salad…And I plucked like crazy, as she doesn’t like the long smooth strokes. Took about a month for her to get through her whole coat. I also cut back on her pellets and really upped the hay offered.

I’m old fashioned and always had luck with the Petromalt, as BT suggested.

What about just wetting your hands and wiping Fiver down? I know Spockie had about 4 sheds a year it seemed, and while he didn’t get patches, he just seemed to shed forever. He got pearls from ingesting but nothing more serious and the Petromalt cleared it up with one dose. It sounds like Fiver’s just got a regular big molt going on. They just went to the vet, so I think you’re fine.

I doubt it’s stress. Last Fall Fiver was feeling stressed, so he emailed me and asked me to order him a pizza and a six pack to be delivered, so that’s how he copes with stress. No hair loss. (Hare loss?)
