Bugsys starting to moult badly Soo I need a good brush I've heard the furminator brush is supposed to be good??
I bought a cat brush from wilkinsons and it's the best one I've ever had.
Along the lines of this but mine was only a couple of quid.

can I butt in and just ask where everyone buys their furminators from in the UK?
I got mine from Amazon :wave:
could you possibly link me to the one you got? I cant find a 'small pet' one on there.
I use a rubber glove and it works like a dream. In fact I have several and one of the best ones is meant to be a rubber human massage mit and has bobbles on it.
It draws up the dead fluffet very quickly, the fur sticks to the glove and the rabbit thinks they are getting a lovely rub down rather than being frightened of a hard brush.
Where did you get that from Duchess? I have a cheap one but it doesn't get down into the fur very far.
I usually use a comb for mine. I've never got on with brushes.
This is the exact one I have, in fact I have two, but they both came from car boots sales. http://www.soapandglory.com/products/bath-body/jumbo-massage-glove?fromSearch=c2hvdz1hbGwmb3JkZXJieT1kYXRlJm9yZGVyPWRlc2MmY2F0ZWdvcmllcyU1QiU1RD0xMDU=
It is incredibly soft rubber and so it's sticky on your hand and sort of wraps round, unlike some of the harder ones that are sort of flat. It is great and doubles up for getting fluffet of the sofa or clothes too
Bit pricey but have to say it's a great product for de-fluffing. Sure you can get the same type of thing from Superdrug or similar. In fact cotton gloves with rubber dots for gardening would probably do a similar job.
I got a smallish yellow brush too!! I got mine from a BRILLIANT pet shop! It's good because they don't sell ANY pets whatsoever and they give you advice and also a choice. e.g I couldn't decide whether to get a 3ft hutch or not and she asked questions about the breed and she actually said "It's up to you as long as you extend it to at least a 4ft soon"!!!
Thanks!! How did you know I'd bought new gardening gloves?
