Grooming

Young Bun
sorry couldn't find a topic on this ...apologies if there is already one :)

My bun is looking a bit 'tufty'.She's very well and lively otherwiseso I assume this is normal and not a health issue :?
I 'groom' her with my hand and lots of loose fur comes off.
I'd like to give her a proper grooming session with a brush but she's not the most, er people friendly, rabbit on the planet ..don't think she'd take too kindly:lol:
Any recommendations ?

She's moulting :)

I find the easiest way of doing it is to get a small amount of treats and let her eat them from your hand whilst you brush with the other, keeps Biscuit quiet just about long enough to brush him, and if i need to do it more, i leave it a few minutes and repeat :)

You can get decent brushes for not a lot of money, i picked mine up from local garden centre for £1.99 :)

Hope this helps
 
Or use a damp (not too wet) flannel if she doesn't like a brush - the fur will stick to it.

If you can gently tease out the loose clumps it might be easier than trying to just get it out with brushing too :)

Thanks :) I'm a complete bun n00b :oops:
I did that this morning when I let her out for her constitutional ...there were these big loose bits of fur that just came away when I 'plucked' them out ..she gave me such a filthy look :lol:
