As the seasons change, it is normal for rabbits to shed their fur. This is especially true in the summer, where a thick coat of fur is simply unnecessary with the hot and humid weather. However, some rabbits moult in excess of the four-season-change. For some, this is natural. But for some, this may be attributed to their environment.
If you are noticing that your pet rabbit is shedding excessively this summer, take a look at the temperature settings in your home. It sounds simple, but turning on the air conditioner or fan may be all that is needed to reduce the frequency of your pet rabbits' moult. Also check that your rabbits' cage does not receive direct sunlight or at least receives partial shade. Rabbits are sensitive to changes in temperature due to their fur coat. What may be comfortable for you may be unbearable for them. Keeping your home a consistent temperature throughout the year may be just what is required to minimize excessive fur loss.
