        Hello Everyone!

        My bunny Abby is changing colors! I’m wondering if it has something to do with the upcoming winter months?  On her back there are a couple of little spots turning white… and I know they’re turning white because if you look at the hairs themselves they are brown on type and white on the bottom!  And in these same spots it seems like she’s losing her hair or something.  There aren’t gaps of missing hair from what I can tell but what it looks like is someone took a pair of scissors and cut her hair and put big gaps in it.  I’m getting a little worried… I just noticed the shorter/missing fur like ten minutes ago so I figured I’d ask… Thanks everyone!!

          It sounds like molting to me. Sometimes rabbit fur may change color due to the seasons – longer nights, longer days, etc…also sometimes as rabbits age their colors may change as well…baby to adult.

            I agree, probably she’s probably molting. My male Valen is molting now, but Bella hasn’t started yet. I think he’s molting because of the weather changes where we live in PA.
