        Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows of any good companies or specific grooming tools that are great for grooming my rabbits. Both shed alot and although I am staying on top of their areas for fur and grooming them they are still ingesting some hair. The brush I have is not the greatest at all, ive only found 2 different types of brushes specifically for rabbits in my local pet stores but it doesnt do enough or grab enough fur off of them. Just petting them with my hands gets more fur off than these brushes…im looking for something that I could easily find at a store in ontario or that can be ordered online.

        Also was wondering how long are their shedding seasons? I havent been able to really keep track seeing as these brushes dont work anyways. Or is shedding all year round?

        One of my buns sheds more in clumps while the other just sheds all over.

        Thanks!

          I personally really like the Hairbuster comb. Binky Bunny has it in the Store. Some people like the Zoom Groom type brushes too.

            I use a self-cleaning slicker. After a good brushing I lint-roll my buns. They’re both “normal-haired”, I don’t think lint-rolling is good for lion-heads, but it works for rexes and normal-haired. Use a generic brand lint-roller, name brands can have too stiff glue. And be prepared to use up a whole roll of sticky paper.
            Some buns do shed all year round, esp in warm parts of the world. It’s not abnormal if they do. In cold climates they tend to shed most heavily during spring/summer.

              I like the small pet Furminator for short hair. It worked great on my bridge buns, my Mini-Rex’s short, dense fur and Olivia’s smooth, short fur. Doesn’t work great on Bindi’s long, wooly fur. I use a small slicker brush and comb for him.
