stressful moulting

I read some of the threads around but I didn't find anything useful for my situation, so a little question - Chrissi is moulting pretty much right now. Having in mind that she had a lot of health problems and that she is finally stable now, I am afraid of her swallowing fur while licking herself.Her tummy was slightly noisy today so I am afraid she may end up having problems because of the fur. So I try to help her-but as always, she is horrified. I pull slowly fur with my finger, she runs and looks scared. When I clean her with rabbit wet wipes, she so-so takes it, although no fur goes on them:D I tried a bit with a soft toothbrush, she totally hates it! If a thing like a toothbrush annoys her what is left for the other combing systems!They look absolutely scary! So, some advice for a stubborn moulting bun?
 
Hello:wave: My Lucy is moulting pretty heavily too. She also hates being brushed and tries to bite my hand every time I try to comb her. Try to stroke your bunny with wet hands, I guess that would be less stressful. You can also try to place her somewhere safe and comb her gently. That helps for my Lucy and believe me she's a cowardly one. Hope I helped and good luck for you both;)
