if she sheds alot of fur its most likely that's shes pregnant
This is so untrue it is not even funny. A doe pulls hair from her belly to line her nest BEFORE she has her babies. If she is losing a lot of fur she probably is in a natural moult stage or has fur mites or mange.
Rabbits don't shed all the time, like cats and dogs do: instead, they go through moults. In the wild, moulting happens on a regular basis that has to do with the changing of the seasons. With pet rabbits, sometimes you see the regular, seasonal moulting you'd see in wild rabbits, but sometimes a pet rabbit's moult schedule is irregular and unexpected. Either way, generally speaking, rabbits tend to moult three to four times a year (that is, once every three to four months). Some moults are heavier than others.
It's very important to groom your rabbits daily when they're moulting (more often if they're long-haired rabbits). If rabbits consume too much fur, they will become ill (unlike cats, rabbits can't vomit, so a furball has to make its way all through the digestive system; too much fur can lead to impaction, illness, and even death). To help any small furballs moving safely through a rabbit's gut, strongly encourage hay and water when he's moulting; some people also recommend digestive enzymes (like papaya enzyme tablets, or fresh pineapple). Small furballs in a rabbit's gut are normal and usually don't pose a threat unless there are other problems (like mild dehydration).
There are many pet brushes on the market, some better than others where rabbits are concerned. Pet supplies like brushes are often reviewed on rabbit websites and blogs, so it's worthwhile to do some research. However, some people find they have more success removing loose fur with simpler methods like running wet rubber dishwashing gloves over the rabbit's body, or simply plucking (GENTLY!) loose fur out with your fingers. The main principle to keep in mind is that rabbit skin is very thin and stretchy, which makes it easier to damage or cut than cat or dog skin: always be very gentle with rabbits!
Is it warm where you are? Yes it is normal. Is it cold? No, take your bunny to the vet.
Rex rabbits shed a lot by nature. They need to be brushed with a soft brush about 3 times a week to help keep this problem at a minimum.
Yes it is very normal if she is pregnant she will be pulling her fur out alot and if shes already had the babies then shelll be pullin it out trying to keep the babies warm
Your rabbit needs to go to the vet. It probably has mange and that can really make it crabby.
They only shed their fur if they're scared, and I know from experience.

Will rabbits shed fur if they are scared by a child?

Do lion haired rabbits molt in the summer?
Lionheads, like all rabbits, shed their coats. Unlike cats and dogs, they don't shed continually; instead they have a "moult," where they shed all their fur at once. Rabbits have three or four moults every year (one every three to four months). Some moults are lighter than others: sometimes you may hardly notice your rabbit is moulting, and other times it is very obvious because there's fur everywhere. You should brush your rabbit when he's moulting because if he consumes his fur (as he grooms himself), he could get seriously ill. (Unlike cats, rabbits can't vomit their "fur balls," so a fur ball can lead to gut impaction.) See the links below for more info.All rabbits shed, so as a result, yes, lionhead rabbits shed.
