Why do rabbits loose there fur?

Question

my friends rabbit is loosing its fur its growing in a little but she is still woried

Answer 1

molting, or shedding, happens every year for every rabbit.  It may be loosing its winter coat.

I could also, if we are talking about bald patches which molting won't do, hot spots are a possibility.  If the rabbit keep scratching at it, we use some soothing balm on it every day.

Mange is rare, and it would be loosing almost all its hair.

Ringworm, which I've never seen on my rabbits, is another possibility.  Again this is if there are bald spots.  Check for a red ring around the bald spots.  If this is what it has, you need to go to the vet and get some special cream to put on it.

Hope you find what you are looking for!

Answer 2

It might be pregnant or it might have a mite or its just shedding.

Answer 3

Rabbit may just be shedding, or it could be from stress.  Being so small and not able to communicate very well makes stress a big problem.  But shedding is natural, and since the hair is starting to grow back, I'd suggest gentle brushing.  Is the fur long enough to spin into yarn?  It would be sweet to have a small scarf from your own rabbit.
