Rabbit Care During MoltingCaring For Your Holland Lop Rabbit During Molting
Some bunnies take molting in their stride while others seem to almost die. Some may go off their feed or have reduced fertility during molting. Some bunnies may not be able to handle other stresses as they would normally while they are molting. Growing a new fur takes a lot of the bunny's internal resources. Treat your heavily molting bunny with extra care. You may find that taking a bunny to a show in the middle of a molt will stop it in it's tracks, only to have it start over again from the beginning, delaying the final clean result you are looking for. I've heard a judge say that Holland breeders should never keep their bunnies home due to fur not being in prime condition, given our point distribution. Yes, your bunny may place while molting, but it is not likely to take BOB, let alone BIS, in that condition. And you may delay the optimal result you are looking for.
