So, Moonpie has been doing some heavy duty shedding for the past two months. When I say shedding, I mean chunks of fur coming out when you touch him, and bald spots. It started at his shoulders and has been moving to his back slowly, he still has most of his back end to go.

 How often do they shed their whole coat? It’s been frustrating having hair all over the place, and not being able to hold him without wads flying around the room. I took him to a spa day that the rescue was having, everyone there thought he had some horrible disease . I definitely got more than a few sideways glances, as I walked around with him and was followed by a cloud of hair.It wasn’t until some of the more experienced ladies there convinced everyone that it was totally normal for bunnies to shed, and sometimes be kinda bald that people stopped looking at me like I was a horrible  owner. They taught me a few good tricks, and I have got it mostly under control (aka I take him outside everyday for twenty min, and pet.pull the loose hair out)…..but I’d be happy to see the end of this coat blow nonsense.

He was at the shelter for almost two years, and they said he never did this there. I guess he knew if he was red eyed, half blind, and bald he’d never get adopted .

So to summarize this ramble, how often do they shed their whole coat, and how long does it usually last?

This is him a few weeks into the shed, he looked much worse.

This is him now. He looks quite a bit better (or so I think). He was searching for some craisins I dropped.
