How can I accellerate a moult?

I want to take a lovely Copper Satin doe to a show at the end of this month. She has shed her fur to mid way down her sides. Glorious copper above, dull hair below. Any tricks to get that coat out a little faster?

Thanks!

Ivermectin speeds the molt. Since she is finished about halfway, I'd say in two weeks or so she should be done. *This works ONLY if they are already in molt!*

You can also give her BOSS (about a TBSP per day) if you prefer to avoid using drugs, but I am not sure if it is as fast acting as ivermectin.

Really? Cool! How much for a 5-6 LB rabbit?

You learn something every day!

1/4cc orally.
