Personally, I think the haircut looks rather ravishing.

Iszay is such an angel.

For those of you who haven't seen Iszy before her haircut, this is how she normally looks.

Iszy is a Lionhead.

I'm sure she feels a lot cooler now that she got rid of some of that hair.

Iszy looks rather pretty with her newcut. What did you use to clip her -shears/scissors/clippers?

We just used scissors. Her fur is so thick. It's almost chinchilla fur. So soft!

It was so hot in the house and she was having several "strings of pearls".

I've been wondering about this, and I think I'll take advantage of this topic to ask...
(Iszy, by the way, is as CUTE AS A BUTTON with that hair cut!)

My Nick - a Holland Lop - seems to be having a hard time this year withthe very hot-humid days we have been having here in upstate NY.
His area is airconditioned. The AC, however has to cool off two roomsthat are connected thru a door that is kept open. So, it's not REALcool in the area, but the humidity is greatly reduced. I also have afan that blows over his playpen - not directly on him - that keeps theair circulating in the area.

Now - he could just be a bit depressed and lonely, since he lost twomates in the space of four months (Checkers and Tess of very happymemory) - but he just sleeps alot and just seems 'tired' all the timeon the hot days. His breathing is a bit rapid at times. He drinks TONSof water, and I wet his ears several times a day - which he seems toget great pleasure from (he is one strange bun... )

My question is - Is it permissable to 'shave' a rabbit for the summer?

He is constantly (or so it seems) shedding, and he has all that dencefur underneath his top layer of fur. I brush him with a cat slickercomb twice a day (which he enjoys) and remove enough to make anotherbunny, but I just can't get it all off of him!

I've talked to another rabbit savvy friend, and she suggested I shavehim. Not all the way to the skin, but kind of a 'buzz cut' so the denceunderfur can be more easily removed.

I have a razor, and I am experienced in cutting hair on HUMANS, so Iknow I could do it easily enough - I know he'll look strange (though Iwill try to make him as handsome as possible).
But - do you think it's safe? Will he get 'too cold'? And how long would it take for it to grow back?

I will wait for your expert advice! Thanks!

(PS - I have committed to adopting another bun as a mate for Nick, butshe will not be ready to 'travel' until after Labor Day - Will keep youinformed...)

Honestly I just gave Guinevere my mix a haircut.

Using clippers I just clipped her. Didnt shave her to theskin, but thinned out her coat a lot. She seems much moreactive now that she isnt overheating.

Just a warning... bunny fur has a tendency to be VERY fine, so make sure you are prepared to pick up all the loose hairs
