Today I have been helping somebody who rescued a very poorly kept, neglected looking lion head bunny.
When I saw the bunny its was in a total mess, it couldn't even lay down properly because it had huge lumps of hard poop on its butt, it must have been in some discomfort and I feel it might have some issues with its teeth.
I tried getting off what I could, some of the poop I had to cut off its fur because there was no other way of removing it, I gave the bunny a bath to attempt to remove the rest of the dried on poop from its butt and I got nearly all of it off .
It can sit and lay down a bit more comfortably now. I'm not experienced enough to trim teeth, I've had a look and they look like there is more going on with them so it possibly needs to see a vet at some point but its eating fine so not so urgent.
It needs a lot of grooming, The person asked me if it was ok to trim the bunnies fur... its a very friendly but scared bunny.
What is the best way to tidy up the appearance of a messy lion head bunny?
I would have thought a grooming brush of some kind would be enough?
