bunnies fur

What do people use to brush the bunnies fur.

We had bought one from PetSmart when we first got our bunnies and it did NOTHING. We read good reviews on this brush:

...and it's awesome! It took out chunks of fur when Nibbles was shedding. It worked really well. It's on sale right now, so I would definitely recommend picking it up.

It depends on the type of bunny my bunny has really soft fur and sensitive skin so i use almost a babys brush but if you had a jersy wooly or a bunny with a significant amount of fur you could probably use a cat brush.

It does depend on the type of hair your bunny has.

Here's some good info from the RO Library.

Grooming your bunny is very important. Keeps them for ingesting fur and developing furballs.

Hope this helps.

What Meredith posted would be good for your bunnies. They have shorter hair and that's what I use for my short haired bunnies.

The slicker brush (wired) is also good but just be gentle when brushing. It is true that bunnies have thin skin and can be hurt if brushing too hard.

I use it for Dobby, Kreacher and Willard, then use the comb. I haven't had a problem with it so far. The comb does a much better job though taking out the clumps of hair when my boys are really shedding.

I finally found, just yesterday, what seems to work with Honey, at least based on one use. It's a red velvet mitten [without thumb section, unfortunately]. The packaging is in my recycling barrel, so I can't tell you the name or brand, but it was in the pet section at Meiers.

i think i know what your talking about are they for cats too?i see some things like that at the pet store?

Adding to my post above, no sooner do I shut down computer then I see the information: it's a Pet Hair Pick-Up Mitt by Evercare. It does have a hole for the thumb, which maybe is better than being made like a mitten. The mitt can also be used to remove lint from furniture or clothes. Hair is removed from the mitt by rubbing it in the opposite direction on a flat surface.

But when Honey is in full fluff, removing it is easiest by just pulling out the clumps by hand.

thank you all for responding!

 

[terrie]

saw it in pet smart for 5.99 so it works good for your bunny?

 

[LakeCondo]

With one use, it's hard to be sure, but so far so good.

I have a round rubber brush like this: http://www.ccpdogs.ie/images/286-001.jpgthat I quite like to use. I wet it a bit before so the hair sticks to it. The pets love being brushed it it

(Posting quickly so I don't know if others mentioned it already!)

I just ordered the Hair Buster comb Meredith mentioned. If it doesn't work with Harvey I can always use it on the cats. Seems like they are always shedding.

I also have that Zoom Groom mentioned in the RO link. Works well on the cats (they will eat it too btw took the head off) I think I tried it once on Harvey. He gave me the stink eye haha.
