Just brush him out and make sure that he’s not ingesting too much fur. It’s generally not stressful for your rabbits and they go through a heavy moult like every four months or something like that. Make sure that they’re getting enough hay and water and that the fur isn’t causing any blockages

Thanks everyone for your advice.

One of the things I do prevent the rabbit from getting to full of its own hair in addition to the brushing and lots of hay is give them a Digestive support tablet from Sherwood. I give one a day during a moult. My rabbits love them although they might take a bit to get to where they like them. If your noticing lots of hair in their poop then up them too 2 a day.

During moult, brush daily with a flea comb (for a more thorough grooming). This prevents a dangerous blockage from happening - it should be noted that rabbits cannot cough up hairballs like cats. Provide digestive support via Sherwood Papaya Tablets (1-2 daily).
