[trixiesowner]

Well, I read in my book you're supposed to grooma dutch rabbit once a week.. I'm not sure this is enough.Howoften do you think I should groom Trixie?
Also, what is the best types of brushes to use? The ones we're using take forever...

That would be reasonable. Iuse a small slicker brush, with pliable metalbristles. If and when it becomes "clogged" with fur, I combit out with a little hair comb and blow the fur off thecomb. Stroking the entire coat with yourhands helps to spread the natural oils in the bun's coat.Dampening those hands will help remove loose hairs, as well.

I often follow up with a small soft nylon hair brush and a thoroughcombing to place every hair in place. For obvious reasons, Iusually do all this outside in our back yard, sitting at our picnictable with the bun(s) on the table.
