Brush or comb?

I was just wondering as our bunnies are all madly molting at the moment what is the best brush or comb you have to aid our bunny friends?

We have a so called rabbit brush, looks a bit like a baby hair brush but the bristles are bit stiffer and it doesnt seem to be much good.

When we walk in the shed its looks like a fur snow storm :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
I have a brush collection built up over the years of pet ownership and I find the best one for when they are moulting is a cat moulting comb which has alternate long and short teeth. The only other brush that seems to get anything off of them is a mini slicker brush. I will have a search and see if I can find piccies.
 
I bought a bag of multi brushes and combs from Jollies for about £15, it contained about 10 different ones. If I had bought each one individually if would of cost me about £4 a brush.
 
I find those rubber glove groomer things are rather good for taking off dead hair. I also use a brush, comb and mini slicker.

:)
 
Tree, I saw those bags of brushes in Jollyes and, I agree, they looked superb value for money - but as I already had most types at home is wasn't worth me buying one.
 
I use a cat flea comb. Brushes are no good, especially the ones with really soft bristles. If its really lose just stroking/plucking with your fingers can work well.

I use a variety depending on the bun! the best ones for me are a metal comb with wider teeth on one side and thinner ones on the other! and one of those rubber glove thingy's!
