Grooming to bald

BasilBarleyandMe · Sep 17, 2015

Today I was grooming my oldest rabbit (Basil) like I usually do once or twice a week when she's molting (which she is because clumps of fur are coming out) and when I finished I notice a bald hairline around where she is molting/shedding (around her butt) this has never happened before and I was just wondering if this is normal when bunnies heavily shedding like this. If you need more pictures let me know!

Some of my buns do this, o would leave it for now... Especially since she is in heavy molt

If she loses more hair then that is when it is time to get serious but for now it's just where she is molting

All three of mine have looked like that at some point. Just give her a break for a day or so (so the skin doesn't get roughed up), and then get back to it.
