No. Platypuses do not undergo any kind of moult. They already have two layers of fur: one to keep them dry, and the other to provide insulation against warmth and cold. The temperature of the water in which they spend much of their time does not vary as much as the air temperature outside, and they live in deep burrows that are warm in winter and cool in summer.
