What is the term for a gradual return of fur to its position when stroked?

The term that describes the gradual return of fur to its position when stroked is known as rollback. This feature relates specifically to how the fur lays back down on the rabbit's body after being stroked or disturbed. A good rollback is indicative of a well-maintained and healthy coat, reflecting proper grooming and care.

Flyback, on the other hand, describes a different coat characteristic where the fur quickly springs back to its original position with minimal resistance, often seen in certain breeds. Rabbithair and furback are not recognized terms in the context of rabbit grooming or showmanship. Understanding the concept of rollback is essential for evaluating a rabbit’s coat quality and overall presentation in a show setting.
