Grooming kit

Bellatrix15 · May 8, 2019

Hi guys! I have now set up a rescue! It’s very exciting. Thinking of offering a grooming service to get a little extra money in for the rescue. I also have lots of bunnies now in rescue that need grooming! I see lots of conflicting advice on what brushes are best to use. For example some people swear by the furminator and others swear it’s dangerous!

What would you consider grooming essentials for all sorts of coats and fur and conditions!?

Thank you!

Good luck with it all. You will need a bottomless pit of funds and endless time I think! I wouldn’t use a furminater on a rabbit. Warning, distressing images on the linked thread here http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/s...rs-U-D-19-10-2012&highlight=Furminator+Gracie.

We use that here, it's very good, although I don't groom mine much, just when they have excess fur.. I don't think bunnies really need grooming all the time?

Also nada works on the rexes, maybe one of those gloves... A little bit, plucking them works the best [emoji38]

Is it this?- https://www.amazon.co.uk/KONG-CZG-C...+groom+rabbit&qid=1557397315&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Got a couple of heavily moulting lops at the moment! I am currently using this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ancol-Smal...+groom+rabbit&qid=1557397400&s=gateway&sr=8-6 and feel like it does next to nothing!

Yep that's the one, I found for my mini lops those double sided combs worked the best

It doesn't look like it would do much but I trust your recommendation and will give it a go!! Really wish they did a bunny shaped one :lol:

Yea tbh it works for my buns coats.. But Idk if it would for a mini lop, I had two and they needed a comb.. They had tuffs of fur.. Whereas my white buns, when you touch them they give off a cloud of fur.. So the zoom groom thing collects it all basically... I've found that not all bunny coats are the same and there's a double sided comb thingy that works really well for some coats, I'll see if I can find an example online!

I really like this one https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001GU4Y2I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 pretty sure it was cheaper when I bought it though. I find it really good for my long haired angora cross and it was also good when my outdoor foster was moulting quite badly in spring. I also use the cat zoom groom on normal bunny fur (useless for long hair though!)
