Bunny looks a right mess hehe bless him! Started properly moulting last week, wasn't too sure what to expect but found 2 furry poos so decided on trying him with some pineapple juice. He always has plenty of hay and he's been groomed everyday (hope that's not too much!!) Just know how much trouble the fur can be with his insides.
Around his eyes is quite funny, he looks likes he's had the fur around them shaved! The baby fur between his ears is gone :( really liked that!

...he's a bit grumpy at the moment, been like it for a couple of weeks. He pounces aggrssively at me when I go to put food in his bowl or stroke him and the last 2 days he's let out growls!! Nips are on the up too, got a lovely one on my neck today :shock: I haven't been doing anything different with him at all, all his food etc is the same, and I'm spending loads of time with him as usual. When I'm away there's always someone to play with him and keep him company.
Sure his hormones should have gone by now after his neutering op? He happily runs around and plays with his toys, eating and drinking is normal.
Is he mad at me for having weekends away? Or maybe it's just because he's male hehe

It can take up to 6 weeks before hormones cease clanging :shock: He may be feeling a bit grumpy due to the moult. At the end of the day, a man doesn't need an excuse to be grumpy hehe hehe

My little boy has his grumpy moments where he growls and lunges but he has now realised i pay no attention and just pick him up and then he licks my arm and goes all cuddly hehe
