        I have a Netherland dwarf bunny and whenever he sheds I can’t seem to find a comb that gets all the shedding furs. I’ve got those flea combs that some person suggested but it does NOTHING for him. I’m not sure if all types of rabbits have the same fur type but Beans fur is ridiculously soft! Please help!! I can’t deal with the shedding firs flying everywhere when he sheds ?

          IKEA lint rollers. They’re pretty gentle but catch all of Chewie’s fluffies.

            I’m not sure what exact flea combs you already have, but maybe you should try some silicone-coated combs? For my bunny it comes good.

              I use a hair brush that was sold as a military hair brush, it cost £1, and is gentle and fairly effective.

                The Hairbuster is supposed to be a good comb for rabbits. It is sold here in the BB store, as well as other places.
                https://store.binkybunny.com/hairbuster-p116.aspx. Some people also swear by those grooming gloves that have the rubber tips. I’ve even seen those sold in the grocery store.

                  I imagine on a short haired bunny a lint roller would work well. Willow is long haired, a lionhead, and those steal toothed combs work best with her. I get the ones intended for smaller dogs.

                    I use a slicker brush which I got from Asda.I think it was meant for cats and dogs, but it works well on my little dwarf

                      I used a rubber/silicone type brush for Bandit. It was the best thing I found to use and absolutely swear by it. Had used slicker brushes and flea type combs in the past and while they do work, this brush works the best of anything I’ve used. It’s kinda like the kong zoom groom brushes, but with many very fine bristles. Essentially this one here http://www.prestigepetproducts.com.au/50_dash_0250/FurBeGone-DOG-GROOMING-BRUSH/pd.php?scat1=0

                        wetting your hand and petting the bunny works fairly well, you could probably sit next to a sink and do it. I haven’t found anything else that works very well. i tried the furmator thing, and it doesn’t work at all for me.
