Do rabbit's ears molt?

Answer by  JimIngram (115)

Rabbit's ears do not molt. Rabbits can go through the molting process one or more times per year, depending on the species. Rabbits will undergo the molting process for the same reason as other mammels. This process aids them in regulating their body temperatures during a particular season.

Rabbit's ears do not molt because they are permanently attached to their bodies. The ears have muscle and ligaments connecting them to the head of the rabbit. An animal that does molt is a bird when it has too many feathers and they fall off.
