When Your Rabbit Is Shedding

Carrots, red bell peppers, tomatoes, papaya and blueberries provide a variety of naturally occurring phytonutrients. Together with the plant-based fats in flaxseed, these ingredients form a whole-food blend designed to support healthy skin and a soft, shiny coat.

The finely ground powder mixes easily with water to form a soft hay-based meal, making it especially convenient during molting periods or for rabbits and guinea pigs that benefit from additional daily nutritional support.

Many long-term customers choose this formula during shedding season and for long-haired rabbits. Some customers have also reported that their rabbits’ coats appeared smoother and shinier, tangled less and were easier to groom when they fed the formula regularly.

Dull Coats and Dandruff: What’s Behind Them?

Fur loss, flaky skin and a dull coat can have many causes, including mites, fungal infections and other skin conditions. A veterinarian experienced with rabbits should check any bald patches, scabs, itching or sudden coat changes.

This formula provides daily nutritional support to help maintain healthy skin and a soft, shiny coat.

Our process

Low-Temperature Processing & Fine Milling

By breaking down large plant molecules into smaller ones, our hay powders become easier for pets to absorb — allowing nutrients to be replenished quickly and efficiently.

Ultra-fine powder texture: fast absorption, better results

Smooth, finely milled texture — easy to prepare as hay puree, mix into daily meals, or use for syringe feeding.

Coarser, more granular texture — may be harder to mix evenly and more likely to clog narrow syringes.

Compressed pellets

Firm texture — may be harder for older pets or those with reduced chewing ability. Soaking is needed to soften them.

Frequently asked

Common Questions from Rabbit & Guinea Pig Parents

Q  What is Skin & Coat Care Hay Powder for rabbits and guinea pigs?

Skin & Coat Care Hay Powder is a Timothy hay-based supplementary food made with flaxseed, vegetables and fruits. It provides daily plant-based nutritional support for rabbits and guinea pigs, helping maintain healthy skin and a soft, shiny coat.

Q  Rabbit fur loss: when should I see a vet?

Fur loss in rabbits is not always seasonal shedding. Bald patches, flaky or scabby skin, redness, itching, or fur loss in one area should be checked by a veterinarian experienced with rabbits, as mites, fungal infections and other conditions can look similar.

Food is not a treatment for those conditions. As part of a hay-based diet, this formula provides daily nutritional support to help maintain healthy skin and a soft, shiny coat.

Q  What does rabbit dandruff usually mean?

Dandruff-like flakes can occur with dry skin, but they are also a common sign of fur mites, so persistent flaking is worth a veterinary check.

Regular grooming helps remove loose fur and lets you spot skin changes early.

Q  Is this hay powder suitable for rabbits during shedding or molting season?

Yes. This formula provides daily nutritional support during shedding or molting season to help maintain healthy skin and support a soft, shiny coat as new fur grows in.

Q  Is Skin & Coat Care Hay Powder suitable for long-haired rabbits?

Yes. It is especially popular among owners of long-haired rabbits and rabbits that require more frequent coat maintenance. Many of our customers with Angora rabbits love this formula. Long-term customers have reported smoother, shinier and more manageable coats with regular use.

Regular brushing and grooming are still essential for long-haired rabbits.

Q  Can guinea pigs eat Skin & Coat Care Hay Powder?

Yes. This formula is suitable as a daily supplementary food, especially for guinea pigs with sensitive skin or skin prone to flaking. It provides plant-based nutritional support to help maintain healthy skin and a soft, shiny coat.

Q  What ingredients are used in Skin & Coat Care Hay Powder?

The formula contains Timothy hay, carrot, flaxseed, red bell pepper, tomato, papaya and blueberry.

Each ingredient is carefully selected to support skin and coat health. Flaxseed is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, while the vegetables and fruits provide a rich variety of naturally occurring phytonutrients.

It is made without grains or soy and focuses on hay and recognizable plant-based ingredients.

Q  Why does this formula contain flaxseed?

Flaxseed is rich in naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acids, which provide nutritional support for healthy skin and a soft, shiny coat.

It is included in a controlled amount, with Timothy hay remaining the main ingredient.

Q  Can rabbits eat Skin & Coat Care Hay Powder every day?

Yes. It can be fed daily in the recommended amount as part of your rabbit’s regular diet.

It should be used as a supplementary food alongside unlimited long-strand hay and fresh water.

Q  Does Skin & Coat Care Hay Powder replace regular hay?

No. Long-strand hay provides long fibers and chewing benefits that hay powder cannot replace.

Rabbits and guinea pigs should always have access to unlimited long-strand hay. Skin & Coat Care Hay Powder complements their hay-based diet with nutritional support for healthy skin and a soft, shiny coat.

Q  How do I serve Skin & Coat Care Hay Powder?

Mix the hay powder with water to create a soft hay-based puree. The amount of water can be adjusted depending on your rabbit or guinea pig’s preferred texture and hydration needs.

For best results, follow the recommended serving instructions.

Shedding season also means more swallowed fur — see our Gastrointestinal & Hairball Care Hay Powder. Browse our other hay powders, see how each batch is made, or meet the rabbits behind the brand.
