If you own a rabbit like the Rex rabbit then you’ve probably noticed that he tends to lose his hair or shed at different times of the year. This is normal behavior for rabbits as they often shed out old hair in order to grow in a new healthier coat. There is cause for concern if your Rex rabbit is shedding excessively and doesn’t appear to be growing in a new coat or is slow to grow in a new coat. In this case you should contact your vet. Some rabbits are prone to constant or excessive shedding simply because of their coat type. Your vet may recommend that you brush your rabbit daily to help the shedding process and to encourage new growth. Changes in hair shedding and growth can be caused by hormone imbalances, illness or even fighting with other rabbits. Talk with your veterinarian Cherry Hill, NJ to learn more.
