countdown to molting season is on ⏰️

2/13 Edited to

... Read moreMolting season is an important phase in your rabbit's life where they shed old fur and grow new. From personal experience, I've found that paying close attention to changes in your bunny's coat and behavior helps in anticipating this period accurately. It’s common to see increased shedding, and sometimes your rabbit might seem a bit more irritable or energetic. To manage this, regular grooming is essential. Brushing your rabbit daily or every other day can prevent excessive loose fur around your home and reduce the risk of fur ingestion, which might cause health issues like hairballs. Using a soft brush designed for rabbits works best as it’s gentle on their delicate skin. Additionally, molting can sometimes cause your rabbit’s skin to feel dry or irritated. Providing a healthy diet rich in fiber and hydration helps maintain their skin and coat condition. Fresh hay, clean water, and occasional treats can keep your bunny happy and healthy. I also recommend observing your rabbit for any signs that molting season hasn't fully started yet, just like in the humorous note where the bunny was asked if it’s molting season. Patience is key because molting typically happens seasonally, and the timing may vary depending on the environment and the rabbit’s breed. Lastly, creating a comfortable environment without drafts and maintaining consistent temperature can help reduce stress on your rabbit during this transition. Keep an eye on your bunny’s mood and health, and consult a vet if you notice excessive hair loss or skin problems. Overall, preparing for molting with attentive care and gentle grooming ensures your bunny stays comfortable and vibrant throughout the shedding phase.

Just like our teeth, Howie needs to be brushed too. Howie's shell is made of out calcium carbonate, chitin, and protein. We brush our teeth to remove plaque, which harbors acid producing bacteria that gives us cavities. Crabs can get shell rot, which is similar to tooth cavities. It can cause h

The life cycle of a bee begins when the queen lays a tiny white egg inside a hexagonal wax cell of the honeycomb. After about three days, the egg hatches into a larva, a small worm-like form that is ted by worker bees. The larva grows rapidly, molting several times before the cell is sealed with

We're heading towards another molt watch
Howie is still snubbing food. Last night, she spent time at the water line blowing bubbles and then went into her cave. Her tree stump cave is just a fun little hideout and not suitable for molting. I will have to go find her a new one. Even though she's exhibiting pre-molt behavior, it's s

Sometimes, when Winny eats, it looks like she's shocked. It makes me laugh 😂 Winny has been eating very well. No signs of molting yet. Her eyes do have damage. The white you see is mineral buildup in the cracks in the thin clear shell that covers her eyes. That will be completely gone after she

Time to choose a new Molt cave
I went and found some molting cave options for Howie. I couldn't find reptile hides big enough for her, but I did find some rat/guinea pig hides that might do the trick. Whichever one she picks, Hazel, our hedgehog, can have the other. Please visit our website howiethecrab.com for frequently as
