All rabbits shed twice a year, once in the spring and again in the fall. the process is unavoidable, as the rabbit sheds his heavy winter coat to prepare for warmer weather, and again, sheds his thinner summer coat in preparation for cold weather.. Some people, especially breeders of wooled breeds, give their rabbits papaya tablets during a molt. papaya can break down hair balls. if your bunny is molting heavily, watch for signs of gi stasis that can be due to fur blockage. all that said, most rabbits molt normally with no concerns and no special care.. Rabbits will shed in different ways. some rabbits will take a couple of weeks or more to loose their old coat of fur. other rabbits will be ready to get rid of their old coats all in one day and these rabbits are the ones that cannot be neglected once they start shedding..
Remember that like dogs, rabbits also have heavier shedding periods during particular times of the year. colors. the white american rabbit has white fur and red-colored eyes. the �blue� american rabbit is a dark grey color. both types of american rabbits (white and blue) have short, flyback fur. care requirements. The regular brushing will also help minimize shedding, especially in time of seasonal molts, when rabbits tend to shed the most. the white vienna rabbit has a dense coat with shiny, soft hair. colors. vienna rabbits come in blue, black, agouti, and white. the white vienna rabbit is always exclusively white, with pale blue irises and dark pupils.. From what i've read, rabbits can get hairballs but it's very dangerous for them because they can't cough it up like cats do. that's why it's extra important to keep them brushed more than usual while they are shedding because if it accumulates in their tummies it can cause a blockage..
