It’s serious molting time here on the side of the globe that is “Springtime”. I know I have posted this picture a couple of times of my bunny Vivian (RIP), and we do have it as one of our current BinkyBunny Promotions (So you may have seen it before) .
Would love to see what others are dealing with — Get creative and share some molt monsters of your own, (large or small!), we may end up featuring them on our Facebook and Twitter pages. So go find your bunnies inner molt monsters and post ’em here.

My buns are done with their spring molts. It wasn’t really terrible this year. Here are 2 pix from my profile album, from April 2013, when Bam had a record spring molt and looked severely neglected for sth like 8 weeks. It was the first shed after his neuter, I’m thinking it had sth to do with that, beacuse he’s never shed like that again.
He really didn’t look good

I’ve just finished grooming all six, piggies first then buns as they came in from the garden, including a somewhat damp Podge.
No dust bunny of any size on the floor, I think I’m wearing half of it, and the rest is floating in mid-air at least for now!
Here is what I’ve gathered up from Podge so far, with the sd card for scale….

Spays and neuters can def take it out of a bun.Here is a pic of poor Jenny’s tum I’ve just taken, the complete opposite of a moult bunny. It’s taken her 8 n half months just to grow a light fuzz. Yet the rest of her fur is soft n glossy?
16 extra days can make quite a difference!
Jenny is having her first moult since she arrived here, over 9 months ago…
She is unimpressed with me or the grooming brush
it took two sprinklings of pellets and some carrot before she would talk to me after!Here is Latte, kindly showing just how big jenny’s moult monster is

JG, are you sure there’s a bun in there somewhere?
Poor Jenny needed another good groom tonight, and I think she will need a third groom tomorrow
Here is Choco with tonight’s moult monster from Jenny, this is in addition to last night’s, which was shown against Latte in this morning’s picture!

How cool with her tummy, GJ! When my dog was young she needed an ultrasound of her tummy so they shaved it, I remember it took a very long time for the hair to grow back. (She didn’t have anything seriously wrong with her, they eventually attributed it all to a stomach bug and she’s been well since, it’s 6 years ago).Choco looks like he actually is looking for a bunny in there!
I wrote early on in this thread that my buns were done with their spring shedding, but I was wrong. Bam’s shedding again. Maybe he read my post.
Quite a difference between 8.5 months and 9 months!
Choco is generally quite curious about the bunnies, and I guess the moult monster smells like bunny to a piggy.
Look forward to seeing Bam’s moult monster pics

The four way moult monster
I saw a small bird fly of with a huge mouthful the other day, there’s not much left from last week’s moult monsters
Bunnies were all cross with me last night, for bring out the grooming comb, but given how hot its turned today, they are almost certainly more comfy for it, though I know I won’t get any thanks from anybun!

Breintje hates being brushed, but here he is: happily laying after we brushed him. He gets itchy during molt season and won’t be brushed when it’s most needed. Sorry bun, but we’ll just have to ignore your opinion then. He always looks so silly during molt: he tends to carry a “hula-skirt” because the fur on his backside doesn’t molt as quickly as on his back.
Well, we made another bunny out of it.
For some reason he decided that a midsummer-molt would be great this year. The weather has been crazy for the past few weeks, maybe this messed up his internal calendar? We had a couple of cold weeks in june with autumn storms, hail and torrents of rain. Hope he’s not turning into his winter coat yet, because it’s heating up now.
In the meantine..bunny fur in my tea, on my dinner, a few sprinkles on my breakfast eggs. Oh well, the joys of having pets.
