Best Brushes For Rexes?

[Hoolia]

I’m going to be picking up a couple of foster rabbits tomorrow and all I know for sure is one of them is a rex and another heat wave is headed our way - which means EEEEEVERYONE is gonna be a ticking fur bomb.
anyway! What kind(s) of brushes do you guys recommend (or advise against) using on a rex’s coat?

Sorry, I'm not too sure if you have an answer already but here is mine. Personally, I pluck my buns fur with my fingers, as I can pull it out easier. I also like any rubber brush, they're usually pretty good. My bun is pretty plush with a very thick coat, so something like the hairbuster is absolutely rubbish for us haha

I second Apollo's answer. I also "pluck" my Rex's fur with my fingers as it works the best. The rubber brushes are also the best (if I use a brush at all). My bun also has a super thick coat which is constantly shedding, so combs and most of the typical hairbrushes just don't do the job. She also thinks they are toys and will try to play with them if I try and use them. She loves to get back rubs; so, the finger plucking while petting works the best, and she purrs loudly when I do it.

another thing that works too is having on a rubbery glove, like a dishwashing glove and it gets all the hairs that were already loose out

We've purchased the "Furminator" and a dozen other brushes. (Would avoid the Furminator on a rex in particular.) Our buns hated them, and it didn't seem to work as well as we were expecting. Lessons learned.

Best combo that works for us is a dollar store brush, slightly damp hands, and plunking.
