What does a glossy coat in rabbits indicate?

A glossy coat in rabbits is an indicator of healthy fur condition. When a rabbit has a shiny, well-groomed coat, it reflects proper care and maintenance of its health. Healthy rabbits typically display vibrant fur, which is a sign of good nutrition and overall well-being. A glossy coat suggests that the rabbit's skin is well-hydrated and that it is free from parasites or skin issues, further emphasizing its healthy status.

On the other hand, a dull or rough coat might suggest potential health problems, such as dehydration or poor nutrition. While recent grooming can enhance the appearance of a rabbit’s coat, the inherent health qualities associated with a glossy finish are what make this particular trait indicative of a rabbit's overall health.
