my rabbit is constantly loosing more no of hair day by day what is the problem ?

Answer 1

Rabbits are not animals to keep in the home as they shed hair alot and usually causes allergies. Is normal for rabits to loose their fur and replenish all of it about every 6 or 7 weeks in the summer and up to 14 weeks in the winter maybe more depending on the location.

Answer 2

maybe it is going through a normal shed cycle. I suspect the coarse, short hair underneath the shedding spots will gradually grow out to their full length. Even if they don't, I wouldn't worry about insulation: rabbit fur is very insulating, even in its short form. In fact, short fur is easier for the bunny to maintain, and is the normal form for rabbit fur.

While she sheds, be sure she gets plenty of fresh water and fresh grass hay (not alfalfa) to help push things through, along with nice, wet greens to keep her intestinal contents hydrated and moving well. Groom her regularly, to reduce the amount of hair she might ingest.

If you ever suspect an abnormal cause for fur loss in Poppy, you can check here for possible causes and treatments:

Even a long-haired rabbit should not be outdoors in the cold of winter without shelter. Please refer to www.rabbit.org for information on litterbox training and other items that will make it easy for you to bring Poppy inside where she'll be safe from the cold and predators.

or maybe something is irritating the rabbit, check its cage, if you don't find anything clean it.

i just copyed everything from a site, sorry i was to lazy to wright. so i put the place i got it from though, so im not forging it.

Your rabbit is probably just molting ( shedding) its normal. But check it for mites. If the area where the rabbit is loosing fur is white and flaky or red from scratching then it probably has mites. You can treat mites with ivomec, kitten flea powder or bird mite spray ( I think its called 8 in 1 )

Answer 4

a rabbit will shed all its winter fur in the summertime. since your rabbit is a tame one, it lives in the house (or nearby) and is losing its fur later than the wild ones. don't worry, this is all perfectly normal. you could brush it a bit to help your rabbit keep cool. oh, and don't worry it will grow more in the fall :)

Answer 5

Pet keeping with Marc Marrone. There's alot to raising
Bunnies. Look him up.

Answer 6

If it is a female, she may be pregnant. My rabbits pull out hair to line their nest with.

If it is not pregnant, or not female, it may be due to poor nutrition.

Answer 7

It's the time of year when rabbits shed. If you have a decent vacuum you should be fine. http://www.rabbit.org

Answer 8

if it is a female,shes going to give birth,shedding its hair means preparing something warm or cozy to the newborn, if its a male, it is just but normal to shed the old ones for new ones !!!
