How do you groom your bunnies feet?

Harry will let me groom his back and sides etc but his feet seem to be getting a bit matted and he won't let me near them. I don't really want to trance him (he's so big it never works very well).
We have a vet appointment monday anyway so they'll help sort the matting but How do I do it otherwise??
 
Depends on what you mean by matting. Are there any bald or sore patches on his feet around or under the edge of the matting? If not, I'd suspect that he's just developing standard bunny matts to protect his feet. My outdoor buns all had matts on their feet to cushion them, but only some of the indoor ones. I suppose it depends on their environment. There is no need to trim off standard bunny matts :wave:
 
Thank you for responding:wave:
He has fluffy edges to his back feet that were matted. Vet trimmed them today and the skin was very dry underneath. He just won't let me touch them to grrom them but they aren't sore or red it's just that his fur is very dense(hes a calli)
