My rabbit is loosing its hair whats wrong with it.

Answers:

It is most likely shedding. You will need to brush it everyday, so that you can remove the fur before it gets on your rabbit's tongue. Rabbits groom themselves, but unlike cats, they do not have the ability to cough up hairballs. If you suspect that your rabbit has injested too much hair, than give it a laxative such as a dandelion leaf (lots of them but no more than a cup per four lbs body weight) , and lots of hay. This should help it to digest the fur without it clogging its throat.

If you see any bugs in your rabbit's cage, and if you see bald spots on your rabbits fur, this may be mites, fleas, or ticks. Take your rabbit to the vetrinarian as soon as you can, and the vet will most likely perscribe a rabbit safe parasite treatment. When applying this, do not get it in the animals eyes. Ask your vetrinarian for tips.

If your rabbit is a female and is pulling fur off her chest (not swallowing it, just putting it in a corner or in her hiding box) she may accidentily be pregnant. If she has had any contanct with male rabbits, this might be the case.

Good Luck and I hope this helped!

it sounds like your rabbit has mites, get it down to the vets where they can give you something to relive it of them.
