What kind of fur do rabbits have?

Answer 1

WillowArcane here

Normally, matted fur on rabbits is around the base of the tail, and can be caused by an animal that deficates/urinates and then sits down upon it, causing it to clump over time. This can also cause the anal passage to become blocked and make defication difficult, so it should immediately be taken to a vet so they can shave the effected fur off. If the matting is in another area of the body, it could possibly be a sign of an infected wound that has been hidden by the fur, and a vet should be consulted.

well, i have a 3-4 month old lion head rabbit and she had matted fur at the bottom and all i did was shave and then cut it off my self i didnt go to the vet. But if u try this make sure u do it VERYcarefully because you might hert/cut her skin.

Thank you XX

Answer 2

sometimes rabbits just shed when it gets warmer. if it is coming off in chunks and leaving bald spots then you should try some pellets with a higher nutrition level. this same thing happened to my rabbit and the hair grows back although it is an eye sore to look at.

Depends on the breed.
