He could be molting, which results in a large influx of shed hair; however, typically the rabbit ingests the hair while grooming, so it comes out through the poops. Have you seen any poops that are oddly shaped/strung together with fur/have a fur poof sticking out of them?

Rabbits can pull their fur out in frustration as well. He could be very stressed about the new environment. Are you able to check him for bald spots?

You will need to groom a rabbit every day during a molt to lessen hair ingestion, because it can block up their system and cause them to become very ill.

What is his environment and set-up like? How often are you interacting with him/does he have time on his own?

So on one-hand, it’s good that you’re seeing those string of pearl poops, because it means everything is getting through his system. On the other hand, it’s bad because it shows he’s ingesting enough fur to make such an impact. Now rabbits will naturally always ingest some fur because they are such dynamite groomers, but especially during a molt, it’s important to lessen the load for them.

Continue to brush daily as you have been. Following a grooming session, it’s good just to use your hands and tug at a few places to make sure you have gotten everything. Those furs in your photo could just be surface fur that flies off him while he’s grooming, in which case that’s a lot and longer/more frequent grooming sessions may be required. Personally, brushes have not been as effective for Wick; I just use my hands and pull out fur tufts, though this comes after having great familiarity with his fur shading, shape, and length, to the point that I can readily identify where there is and is not loose fur.

What breed is your rabbit? Some breeds/fur lengths dictate particular needs for grooming (i.e. brush over comb, trims needed, etc.)

How much hay is he eating? It’s definitely good those were trimmed. Typically eating hay helps keep those in check. If possible, you should monitor their growth by checking the mouth once a week.

Glad he got his teeth taken care of! Did he have malocclusion of his teeth? The misalignment can be due to genetic factors rather than hay eating practices, although eating hay is always good!

We had a bun in our care for a few months who had his front teeth removed due to malocclusion. They get along just fine with no front teeth, plus you can rest easy your furniture and walls wont be chewed

The only different thing was we had to cut up his veggies into bite sized chunks.

Yay, that’s a great outcome

What a great update, and odd timing. Wick is going into the vet later today and we’ll be bringing up the topic of incisor removal because of his misalignment.

It’s great to a hear a lovely recovery story

So glad to know the little guy’s doing fine!

Hi Garfy. Great photo. Wow poor bunny….. well done for having him checked out !! Now you can keep an eye on him. Lucky bunbun

Oh he will !!! LOL but he’ll soon be won round with a nice and soecial “post-vet” treat.

Aw so good to hear! Glad he’s doing well <3
