Hi all,

for those of you who have dwarf lops, like Sprocket:

Hw do you groom them? He has quite dense fur, but not as long haired as an angora or lionhead. I've got a comb and a slicker brush, but the comb doesn't seen to be able to get a grip on the dense fur and I have limited success with the slicker brush. he gets a few small matts, which I pull out and is a real wriggler, by its mainly the inside of his back legs that I'm concened about. So any tips gratefully received. :D
 
I dont have any advice sorry but I have a similar problem with Sooty so I will be interested in the repies. All the brushes I've tried just seem to skim the surface it's particulary a problem in winter when his fur is very thick.
 
I had the same problem with Izzy. I'm not sure what brush I used, it was some dog brush that was designed to get all layers of fur. It worked well.
