If the skin looks healthy, it’s more likely shedding. When grooming, you should be removing fur that has naturally “released” itself already, so if what’s left is skin, that’s simply the result of your rabbit’s shedding pattern this time. Grooming daily during a heavy molt is important, because if you leave it for him to eat, the consequences of a fur blockage are much more lethal than getting stressed from grooming.
Overgrooming can be done by a rabbit themselves, which is problematic and involves pulling out their own fur. This can occur when the rabbit is feeling unwell and/or stressed. Is there any changes that might signal he’s doing it himself/he is particularly stressed?
