Has anyone ever heard of a rabbit letting out a scream of protest whilst being brushed (gently) with a soft slicker?

The rabbit was checked all over and reacted to no touching or prodding and as soon as it was put back down carried on its normal running round like a nutter and binkying???

I have had some squeal (but not scream) in protest for various things. Maybe your bun was just being a diva?

She's short haired, but quite thick and needed a groom. We only use soft slickas intended for small animals.

Once down she was as right as rain. I guess she must have just been lodging a complaint.....little miss !!
