What to do when your rabbit's fur is falling out you may be saying, help! my rabbit is losing its fur in big clumps, and its skin is dark underneath the lost hair!. Wool breeds like fuzzy lops look terrible when shedding. your rabbit may go through light molts throughout the year. during these light molts, you may be able to brush away the dead hair and continue to show your animal with success..
