lack of undercoat

[arachyd]

I have a young buck that has almost completely lost his baby coat, has grown guard hair but has not regrown any sort of undercoat. I've never seen a rabbit that looked like this. The hair lies flat against his body and it took a while for me to get used to looking at him because at a glance he looks thin - he isn't. Have any of you seen something like that? Is it common? I'll try to post a pic over the weekend.

I have never seen this! :shock: I await pix!

WOW! Can't wait to see it! I've never even heard of that before. :camera3:

Hmm... :thinking: you might have an exceptionally heat tolerant line in the making...

That would be awesome, though hard to show if that is what you wanted to do. :shrug:

I can see advantages in butchering (no fluff stuck in the meat or flying up your nose) and hot weather but I'm also concerned about how I'm going to keep him warm this winter.

Knit him an angora sweater, of course! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
