Grooming brush?

Hi, Can someone recommend what sort of brush would be good for removing lots of loose fur when my buns are moulting. My buns are both normal fur length but moulting quite a lot at the moment and I'm a bit worried they may be ingesting a lot of fur when they groom.
Thanks!
 
I'm looking for a grooming brush for my rexes as they are moulting now and it would also be good for bonding. What do you recommend for rexes coat?
 
i have a nailbrush made of cactus bristles. it came from boots. it drags a lot of loose hair out but doesnt go right down to the skin, so it doesnt scratch them. they seem to like it. :D
 
I use a fine tooth comb for knots and tangles, a slicker brush for removing dead hair and a soft bristle brush to finish with a nice shine.
 
Damp hands are good - just dip your fingertips in a pot of water, rub it all over your hands so they're not dripping wet, just damp, then stroke the bunny, roll up the fur that will be coating your hands into a ball :)
 
Ok, What about Biscuit? Her fur is sat in clumps at the bottom of her back. She's a tubby bun and can't reach em very well. I've tried so many brushes on her, but nothing gets em out. I pluck em out too, but that either annoys her or hurts her. She looks really fleecey. It gets everywhere too.

Any ideas?!
