          OMG!
          I can’t believe she isn’t sitting still in terror. What a beautiful bunny. I got worried about her tail at one point.

              I love the REW lop. I do not find it cute or funny, though, simply because it could give people the wrong idea. However, obviously your bunny is relaxed and apparently enjoying the procedure. I can see your vacuum is not a very powerful one either, and you are being very careful. I know angora rabbit people use ‘grooming blowers’ on their rabbits and the rabbits have to get accustomed to them very carefully at a young age not to suffer negative consequences from stress. I think it is terrific that you can groom your rabbit in this manner but it is unusual and I am very much against anyone just trying it out on their rabbit. I think it also depends on your rabbit’s general attitude towards vacuum cleaners.

                There’s no way I would do this to Lollipop. She’s terrified of the vacuum cleaner. Plus I had to wonder at the bunny being in its cage. Like maybe the bunny is just resigned to it since it can’t escape.

                  Bunny seems to like it. The suction on those dust busters is pretty gentle at least. Less of a chance of static shock too that you might get from a metal vac pipe.

                  I’ve mentioned before that I do wonder about Rumball & vacs. Whether his past owners maybe ran one over him. He seems awfully curious when the vac comes out and he’ll even chin the canister while I’m using it. I guess it I put the end down near him I’d know one way or another whether he likes it or not.  I’ve never been game.

                    I’ve seen a weird pet vac advertised on tv last night. It is a groomer for cats and dogs o.O

                    My bun hates the vacuum. Will go into her box asap!

                      I think on that vac also, it only has suction. My small handvac has a rolling brush that I couldn’t use on a bunny even if I wanted to, it would be too dangerous. I’ve thought about using the long extension brush on the bunnies before, but I don’t think they’d sit still, and the power might still be too much. At least in that case tho, the power/noise of the vacuum would be 5-8 feet away.

                        there is a video response to this where the rabbit is deaf. It could be the same thing for this one too.

                          Wow, that was quite cute. Our bunnies don’t seem to fussed by the vacuum being out but I wouldn’t put one near them! I found a youtube video of a rabbit in a swimming pool – that rabbit did not look happy at all. I was a little bit upset by it. Some people are scarily ignorant of what you can and can’t do with pets. :S

                            Looks like she actually enjoyed it.   Cotton spays the vacuum no mind.  Except for once when it sucked his tail. Otherwisehe doesn’t care.

                            Ruby doesn’t like it.
