my bunny is loosing a lot of fur

Question
ok my buuny  is black and white  she had gray paches all over her  to day so i thought it was just her sheding so i started to brush her and it seemed to come off easyer when i just slitley pull it out  i mean i was pulling hard at all and in one spot it made a balled spot what dod u think that is

Answer
Dear Danielle,

Sometimes a shedding rabbit will really loose that fur aggressively, and even a little bit of help will cause a bald spot!  As long as you don't see redness or irritation, the fur will grow back, but you can stop grooming in the bald spot areas, as the fur there will be more likely to fall out too soon with extra handling.

Please see:

for complete information on how to handle this phase of your bunny's year.  :)

Hope this helps.
