To reiterate and for those watching without sound: barely any force is being put into plucking the fur, it's coming out easily and without hurting Oppy. It does seem to tickle him a lot though, hence the wiggling. Usually I have my hand cupping his chin and he gives me a bunch of kisses while the plucking happens. Once he hops away, we take that as him saying he's had enough and leave him be. He also got a treat after this.

I assume it's because he's part angora that his fur is so pluckable, because none of our other rabbits have molted like this at all. We had a heat wave a couple weeks ago that might've triggered this, and we're having another heat wave in about a week and some change, so itll probably help him a lot to lose some of his dense fur before that hits.

He does end up looking hella scraggly though lol

Fluff collected from just a minute of plucking. It's a shame I can't try to spin it.

This picture is from his last molt, about 3 years ago.
