Aside from the semi-annual shedding that is normal and unavoidable, you shouldn't notice much hair loss from your rabbit. If you do, look for signs of illness. If he has hair loss around his chin and on the front of his chest, he may have dental problems. Hair loss along the hindquarters may indicate a urinary tract problem in your rabbit. If he doesn't seem to be losing hair in any particular spot, but you notice an increase in the amount of hair he is losing, he may have a parasitic infection, such as lice or mange. Examine his skin carefully for flaky skin, a crusty appearance in spots, open sores or inflamed, irritated skin. These symptoms indicate something is going on with your rabbit that needs medical attention.
I would suggest brushing because I don't think you can stop rabbits from shedding,it's winter time they are getting their new winter fur in with the new out with the old
You can't stop rabbits from shedding.
Rabbits tend to get a parasitic mite called cheyletiella. It can be transferred to other pets (zoonotic) & can even affect humans but can't live on us since we don't have fur. They aren't burrowing mites like sarcoptic or demodectic mange. Google it & see if your bunny mirrors pics of rabbits with this parasite. If not, you need to brush him, especially in the spring. If he's shedding in the winter, take him to the vet. Also, check his bottom. Make sure his poop is solid & isn't all over his butt. He could have a thyroid issue, adrenal, any number of things. Or He may be pulling out his fur cuz of boredom. All animals need enrichment. Good luck!
