What is it called when a rabbit sheds its fur?

  1. Shedding

  2. Molting

  3. Falling

  4. Releasing

The correct answer is: Molting

The process of shedding, or losing its fur, is called molting in rabbits. This typically occurs twice a year, mainly during the spring and fall seasons. Option C, falling, is incorrect because while fur does fall out during this process, it is not the correct term for this action. Option D, releasing, is incorrect because it does not accurately describe the act of a rabbit losing its fur. Option A, shedding, is partially correct but does not accurately describe the specific term used for rabbits.
