  How do you room your mini rex? I know you can dampen a rag and go against their fur but Hopscotch hates this. He loves being pet but as soon as I wet my hand or a rag he runs away. Any suggestions?

  I use the Hairbuster comb. It’s the only thing I’ve found that actually removes loose fur from my mini rex.

  I saw that brush and I thought about getting it, but I heard other placs that you should never use any sort of brush on a mini rex because it might hurt their skin? I don’t konw if I believed it necessarily but I didn’t want to take the chance.

  I just ordered a brush from Bunny Bytes that they said was great for removing dust and loose hair from Rex rabbits. It is called the Rubber Curry Brush and costs $6.69. I haven’t received it yet, so I don’t know how well it works.

  I second the lint roller. It works wonderfully! And you don’t have to worry about getting the hair everywhere. The furminator also works well, but then you have hair flying all over the place. My mini-rex just finished a huge molt and the lint roller was a life-saver.
