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.

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.
