  I would like to start a thread about strange shedding patterns and shapes in honor of Miss Monkey’s recent success in the BunSpace shedding contest.
  
  Deirdra managed to shed a spot on her back in a perfect circle. Post pictures of crazy sheds here!

  I’m not sure if I can get a good photo of Chacha.. she is black. And it is hard to photograph black bunnies

  Our days are getting shorter too. Peaches is shedding as well, but it’s not so bad. Seems like Mango and Toffee finished their shed. Pepe’s has been going on far too long. Bogie was shedding too. Peppermint has not shed and neither had Bobby….I have no explanation :~)

  haha Mocah, do you WANT them to shed?
  
  Ours don’t shed in shapes… they blow their coats and the hairs float all over everywhere and inevitably end up in my nose >_<

  Stormy and Bindi already did their terrible shed. Olivia hasn’t. I really sincerely wish I would have taken pics of Stormy when his face and head was shedding really bad a couple of months ago. He really looked liked a lionhead or like he got in a really bad fight. It was really funny! He was all blotchy.

  I also wish I would have taken pics of bud’s shedding pattern….but he would have eaten the camera..(or me!)…that is a definite no no…. but my hubby said it looked like he had male pattern baldness… he had this huge bald spot on top of his head between his ears….so cute!

  lolz…First of all, congrats to Monkey! (Pip is sulking that she didn’t even place)
  I don’t know about shapes, but on Mimzy’s shoulder where all my terrible trim came back in, he has a difference in coloring that looks like someone spilled coffee on him…but the fur hasn’t come out yet. (and no, I didn’t)
  
  Pip is only losing a tiny bit just off her bum. No shapes yet.
  
  lolz @ mocha…yeah, a bunny slave WANTING a bunny to shed is just plain…odd! ^_^ *puts hand to your forehead* Are you feeling okay? *giggle*
  
  Petzy, that little round spot looks like Dierdra went through a bottle capper or something! 0_o

  Ani shed a perfect ‘hole’ in her back once, it freaked me out b/c it was my first experiance with this kind of shedding.
  
  Bo shed a ‘Saddle” once lol
  
  And Bubba shed’s a “mad face” ….
  
  This is how Baby shed’s out into a “Tu-Tu” … :p
  
  The “Tu-Tu” get’s pretty good but I cannot see, to find a picture with it. Baby get’s made fun of a lot for “wearing a skirt”

  Oh of course! *slaps forehead* I have a pic of Mimzy with a fauxhawk around here somewhere…not a current shed, but still funny. I think RabbitPam dyed it red for me. I’ll have to hunt it up. ^_^
  D’awes…I’m lovin’ the smiley face! xD How cute! Right now Mimzy’s fur on his shoulders is just fluffing up higher than the rest of his back, so I’m guessing a whole chunk is going to slough off from there within a few weeks. That should be an odd look. :-/
  
  Mostly right now it’s just his pinfeathers coming out from his butt. He gets SO mad too when I try to pluck them!

  Well, um, I dont have a photo of Chacha from last nights groom because.. WELL, I was plucking her for too long and.. she.. decided to pee pee .. and luckily it was right into the bathroom sink I didn’t say that. So I stopped and let her go back to playing. I will continute tonight. She is SOO shedding a bunch!!!
  
  Here is the fur. I’m sure there is more coming. This is JUST the fur right above her butt. She is shedding like crazy there!
