OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.

My bunny (Lionhead) is molting as well and 3 days ago he went into a brief stasis. He was fine and happy and even ate quite a bit not more then one hour before and then he already in shock, starting to get hypothermia and inflating up. So yes it can be very fast. Few months before it lasted near two weeks (mostly because of incorrect treatment at the start). This time he pulled back in two hours after I gave him 1CC of paraffin oil and 1 more CC 3 hours later. In both cases gas was the result of the problem but not the cause.
What you can do is reduce his pellets till he is done with the molt to see if he will eat more hay. A belly massage (not a rub) might help keep things moving but make sure not to be too rough or too gentle (as it wont help much). It can be hard to tell what is good and what’s not but when I do it just right Shmoo will start licking the carpet like silly
