  I’ve recently noticed that my bunny’s coat has been looking more dull than before. He’s a lionhead that I brusheveryday and I’ve heard it can be a diet issue, he eats Oxbow young rabbit pellets (he’s 6 months), orchard grass hay and a mix of different vegetables everyday. Nothing much has changed but I have noticed that when I brush him I get more hair than usual, could he be “blowing his coat” or shedding or whatever?

  He could me going through a molt (shedding ALL the fur). Mine tend to get a bit duller when they molt.
