        Hi. My bunny is a mini lop, 11 weeks old. He just started losing fur, also known as moulting and/or getting his adult coat. I would like to know the best moulting brush that removes the most amount of loose fur without harming him. Would a small version of a horse grooming brush work?

        Thanks

          Also, he, for some reason, gets pee all over his back feet and it gets matted and hard. What can I do to prevent this. He has a litter box of paper pellets and a hard plastic floor with grip for a floor.

            Would depend what horse brush you mean! There are many-can you post a picture?

            I’ve found the ‘slicker’ type brushes work best http://www.amazon.com/Safari%C2%AE-Cat-Self-Cleaning-Slicker-Brush/dp/B000YIWUXI

                For litter I find that hardwood stove pellets (the type you can get in tractor supplies etc) absorb better than paper pellets. It has the added advantage of being cheaper too =)

                I use a self-cleaning slicker. I have tried a furminator and it works for the hair on my Bam’s butt but it’s useless on the rest of him and it’s useless on my other bun. I also pluck out tufts of loose fur with my fingers and, after a tip from one of our members, I’ve have started finishing off the whole procedure with a lint-roller. (I use a generic brand, those have less sticky glue that name brands).
