I have a cashmere lop called charlie, I got him from a pet shop as an adoption as i went in to get some treats for my hammies and it was the day befopre xmas eve.
He looked so sad and had been neglected and dumped at the pet shop.
children were rattling his cage and tormenting him and i fell in love and jsut took him home.
never had a bun before but always wanted one and constantly looking for more informatin to make sure he is healthy and happy.
We had him neutered as he was humping everything and was told by a few sources that if he isnt going to breed its healthier to have that done as they are suceptable to cancer.
and we have got him injections etc.
now i would like to ask for advice on grroming.
Hes a wriggly little nippa and doesnt like being picked up but he loves being stroked... so when hes a flat out bunny we tend to comb, brush, trim, clip and we even have a stiutch ripper as when we got him as i said he was neglected and matted terribly.. they shaved some off when he had his op but unfortunately they said we would either have to tackle the rest ourselves or go back. (i think the anesthetic ran out)
we have got it to the point that its only his bottom end, underneath mainly and by his tail... also his back legs are a bit matted but he kicks as is natural.
Any advice on what to do or should i just take him back to the vet and get them to sort it!
I really just want to look after my little angel.
Oh and when i get chance i will post pics!
hugs
