Twice a year a rabbit will shed his hair. Once in spring and agian in fall as the winter coat comes in. This is normal. If he starts t oget bald patches, or acts differently then take him to a vet as he might be sick. Normally a brushing once a day will help.

It's very common for all rabbits to shed. As long as they are growing new coats, after shedding, they are fine. Make sure to brush with a slick or curry brush as they tend to work better for their hair.

Dwarf rabbits lose their hair for several reasons. Stress and poor diet are the most common causes. Fleas and mites also cause rabbits to lose their hair. You could try changing your rabbits diet and moving it to a quiet area of your house.
