So i have been running crazy trying to figure out my rabbits furr issue, though i had for a few weeks. Its flaky/dry sometimes but half it is black like and some around her neck is pink like. i put veggie oil on her thinking she had mange mites she also had some hair lose around the eye once and i put water and oil on it and the hair is grown back(MAybe the oil worked that it was a shedding).I believe its a Satin rabbit due to the shiny and type of style she is.but i want to know how i can tell its molting (Due to the three month old Baby furr molting) or if its mange. There are white flakes coming from her skin and im finding that its flaking over skin. Twice a day i try to damping it. I brush her with a sergeants desheader and detangler comb. They like it better then the wire brush thing. But as i Brush her i am finding what looks like died furr that is white/grey and feels like dog furr more like. And she has shot spots where her new furr is coming in. I can tell this is a light shedding compared to my other one. What do you think it is
But I also have a English Angora who i rescue from some punk at walmart. And when i recieved her a few days ago on 7/19/13 she was malnourished, mates all over it was hard to move, until i relieved the leg areas. Though im still in the battle of getting the butt area, shes more happy and my kush bunny loves her new friend. But the new one as i had been taking the mattes out. I have been finding balled spots. The new rabbit is supposedly 3 months. And my satin rabbit aka Kush is 2.5 months was 6 weeks on june 15. Im a very cautious rabbit owner and I want to make sure that im getting things right. Along with anyone can give me suggestions on taking care of the rescued rabbit. In the last few days she always ate a carrot that was handed to her. Sometimes leafy things. Loves to eat the pellets. Once and awhile it will eat some hay.... timothy hay until next month ill get orchard grass. It has some territorial issues. When it want its alone time Kush would come up to it and try cuddling but it lunges and chase it away. It also bite me after i did a grooming session as i was petting her in her cage. She does great for about a half hour as i groom her. I had her on her back for a half hour once and was grooming her. Until i attacked one of the mattes on her leg. I use the dog/cat desheeder comb along with clippers and a wire brush, which both of them hate. Wouldnt blame them. I can also tell Kush does some territorial actions. Like pooping EVERYWHERE. But she really loves that, she finally got a buddy. We got lots of loves. Though i hope we are not stressing the new one. But we got lucky with these two being our first. Intro Bonding was great. They love to cuddle together. But this morning they were chasing each other(not knowning if they were playing or fighting i dont know. Though i also see them eatting each others food while they have some outside of there mouth like a leaf as they chew what they got in there mouth with some hanging out of the mouth. I dont know if i should leave that alone or make them leave each other alone as they eat there snack. I have been a bunny owner since i got Kush so any tips to help me with these guys that would help. I have done much research. Im also trying to make a website Pet guide so whatever suggestions you gave me ill put it in my guide.
Thanks
