Furries
Warren Scout
My buck has matted fur on his hocks. My two rabbits live outdoors in a shed (with newspaper and straw as bedding), and I put them out in a big run on the grass everyday (which is usually wet and a bit muddy). I dry the grass in the guinea-pig run everyday with newspaper, because they're so low-slung and prone to pneumonia, but I don't usually bother with the rabbit run (partly because there's 100 square feet of it). Should I start drying it?
What's the best way for me to get rid of the mats on his hocks? I tried teasing some of it out tonight whilst I was putting him away, but he jumped so I stopped. He has a normal length coat (although it is much thicker than my doe's) and he's black. When he moults in the summer, he usually has a coat-blow.
Thanks.
