    Good question. I can't say for sure. Does yourbun's bottom look irritated, swollen, or oozing? If so, I would go tothe vet.Another think has your bun's eatting or drink habbitsdecreased? Is Izzy pooping and peeing? Are the poops smaller thanusual? These are things to watch for. You can always...

    I am only sharing this story to stress the importance of keeping up on the mats. THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT AT HEART OR TO SCARE ANYONE! I can tell you about what Kilie and I went through a little over a year ago. Please don't think this is necessarily what will happen to you. Our case was a...

    Mats can make for a cranky bun. When Kilie starts giving me attitude for no apparent reason I check her for mats.

    Whoops. I only attached one image. Oh! If you have a good vet, your vet will give your bun a "bikinitrim." He/she will understand that rabbits get mats. And giveyou pointers. Ange and the killer rabbit

    Kilie gets matts on her bottom too. I flip herover and trance her. Then when she is out cold I use a small red brushthat I got at the pet store to brush out as much as I can. It lookssimilar to below. It has short bristles that get into the hair withouthurting her. For those extra tough matts...
