Hi,
I am new to this board.
I have one bunny, Snuggles, who is a male (neutered) Dutch X. He is about a year and a half old.
It seems like he is shedding a lot more than he has in the past. It seems like he's been shedding for the past few months. He doesn't have any bald spots, and on his last vet check up (in June) I was told he is very healthy.
I am a little worried about how much hair seems to be floating around my apartment. This morning, I sat and groomed him and literally had handfuls of fluff coming off of him.
He does have free choice hay, has pellets and wet greens, and gets fresh water several times a day. His cage is located under a window, and I do leave the blinds open when I leave for work so he can have a little sunlight. He spends several hours out each day and most of the day out on weekends and is very social and plays. He seems like a very happy little guy.
I'm just concerned if there is anything I can do to limit the shedding? I don't want him to end up with a blockage or anything, and I'm worried about developing bald spots.
Thanks for any advice/input.
