How do you remove a piece of fur on a rabbit's eyes?

My bun is shedding fur, there is a small piece of fur on his eyeball, what can you do?

My OH just sticks his finger in there. A clean finger for a second will do less harm than a hair stuck there for days!

Could you get it with a wet cotton bud? Obviously depends how jumpy the bun is.

This is happening with my bunnies a lot at the moment, they're all moulting something awful!

I tap gentley in the corner of their eye, it makes them blink, if you do it a few times they should just blink the fur out. :wave:

I had an issue with a giant blob of fur directly over the pupil of one of my buns. I wasn't sure what the advice was for such a situation, but I wet a few cotton pads and just wiped his eye for a while. It was pretty tricky as he kept closing his eye whenever anything got near it (which blocked off all access to getting it out...!) but perserverance and a supply of pellets to keep him busy while I worked on it paid off :wave:

Blow into their eye gently to make them blink, then when its easy to get, restrain them and really gently get the piece of fur out

I just remember I did use natural tear drop of my bridge bun Bernie a few yr. ago for the same problem. I guess the liquid just wash out the fur. I can't risk using my finger or anything that can have bacteria on it
