How to Prevent and Treat Fur-Pulling Syndrome in Long-Haired Rabbits
Plucking wool from long-haired rabbits stimulates the skin and speeds up wool growth, but improper technique or timing can damage the hair follicles and lower both growth rate and yield. Disinfect tools and give dexamethasone before plucking, and treat any fungal or mite infection promptly with griseofulvin or ivermectin. Harvest on a roughly 75-day cycle—shorter in summer—groom regularly, supplement feed beforehand, and keep the rabbit warm afterward.
