Our rabbit is molting badly. He's a mini rex and he is starting to produce strings of pearls. While there could have been something else going on (see my post in health and wellness) prior to the molt, I think whatever it was has worked itself out.
He seems to be eating a lot of greens and hay. Almost kind of demanding for the greens for the last few days, but now slowing down. Eating pellets too, but not as much. He's also getting probiotics with a little banana because he had been on antibiotics a week ago and we are just finishing the tube like our vet suggested.
I'm just a bit concerned about seeing a few bigger strings of pearls - anything I can do to alleviate those? Will the probiotics be enough to help keep his gut moving?
I'm brushing him as much as possible. I am cleaning his cage of any bits of fur. I just want to keep his gut moving since the last string of pearls, or poos with fur stuck together, was a bit larger than the ones I previously saw.
