(sorry this response is so long) It may just be your rabbits way of molting. Mine would shed like that a couple times a year. Wish I had known about the wet hand method of helping them shed, you dip your hand in water than rub their fur coat in the opposite direction of growth then rub your fur covered hands together and the fur rolls up into a neat rope keeping it from flying all over the place, same with getting the fur off your cloths. It wouldn't hurt to have your vet take a look if you find you can literally lift and peel away the fur in areas that leaves complete bald spots, and if your rabbit is losing more hair than what is growing back. I noticed a change in my rabbits molting this December, which was unusual timing. I had posted the question on here asking what could be going on since you could literally lift the fur right off leaving bald patches. Someone mentioned a type of cancer, and in the end the vet mentioned that she felt it was cancer. He was too old to treat for cancer and still have quality of life, but she did do blood work and started him on antibiotics with the hope she was wrong and that it was just an infection. His skin started to stiffen to the point hopping around became too painful, it got to the point that areas around his legs would crack and bleed. From the first bald spot to losing him was only a few weeks. His weight dropped rapidly and the vet felt he was suffering, so we had to make the difficult decision. Heartbreakingly his bonded mate passed away only weeks later, she developed a respiratory issue that antibiotics didn't touch. I believe his loss was just too hard on her. They were both older, around 10 years old. Im sure your rabbit is just molting, but I did want to tell my story, in case anyone reading this notices a change in their older rabbits molting...
