Should your rabbit be malting this time of year?

"Malting" is not a term commonly used in relation to rabbits. It's likely you're referring to molting, which is the natural shedding of fur that rabbits go through.

Rabbits can molt year-round, but they typically shed more heavily in spring and fall as their coats adjust to changing temperatures.

Here's what to keep in mind:

* Normal molting: It's a normal process and shouldn't be cause for concern. Your rabbit will shed more hair than usual, but it's not a sign of illness.

* Excessive shedding: If your rabbit is shedding excessively, it could be a sign of stress, illness, or nutritional deficiencies.

* Grooming: Regular brushing can help reduce loose fur and prevent hairballs.

* Diet: A balanced diet is essential for healthy fur growth and shedding.

If you're concerned about your rabbit's molting, it's always best to consult a veterinarian.
