Improving quality of fur

[April]

I am looking for the best way to improve my rabbits quality of fur and if there is some way to bring their colour back?

When I first got her she looked pretty mangy but over two weeks her fur has softened however its no where near the quality of my males fur. My male is a holland lop 3 months old and has amazingly soft fur from 5 weeks old, kinda like cats fur very smooth soft and shiny. My female is 6 months old and im not sure if breed is a factor? Shes and english lop mix. Her colour is black torte but is very faded and if its possible id like to bring that colour out and get her fur looking healthier. Where she was shaved from the spay has come in with really light , almost white fur in weird patches. I also noticed that fur on the top of her ears is very very thin to the point where you can see fur however I dont think its due to ear mites.

Any suggestions on diet or care to improve her fur? Thanks!

Just a balanced diet and time. They do a good job grooming themselves when they are well (though they need brushing especially during shedding) so a bad coat is often a sign of some illness. Sounds like she’s a rescue maybe? It will take some time. Breed definitely brings different coats.
