Hey just interested if anyone clips their rabbit in the warmer weather? I usually clip Alan a bit around his bum as he has thick fur which often gets a bit matted when he moults even though he is brushed daily. He has also suffered from cystitis in the past so i like to keep the fur short. Another thing is that he is quite scurfy where he is moulting but not sure if this is due to the moulting or it could possibly be cheyletiella (mites). I may make an appointment to get it checked out tomorrow. Anty ideas?

I clip my Cashie, Mr Bean. His fur felts up within hours if left long :rolleyes:

If you think Alan has cheyleitiella then I would ask your Vet to check Alan's teeth. Early Dental problems can present with inability for Bun to groom themself efficiently. This can lead to mites.
