        Hi! We’ve had our lionhead bunnies for a little over a month now, and we’ve just been using a slickerbrush with plastic balls on the end like we use on our cat. It seems to work okay, but the tines (or whatever they’re called, I’m not sure..) are really spaced out and since their fur is so fine I’m not sure it’s the BEST brush to be using? I did a search and poked around some old forum posts, and heard a lot about the hairbuster but I can’t find it anywhere. It also sounds like bristle brushes (boar bristle?) are good for fine, long haired bunnies. I was thinking about getting a furminator, but after hearing about how you can really hurt/irritate the bunnies skin, I don’t think I’ll be getting one (except maybe for my cat when he starts shedding bad).

        So, can any other lionhead/longhaired bunny owners help me out? I’m really scared of them getting blockages, so I want to do whatever I can to avoid that happening.

          I use the furiminator on both of my Lionheads. We lost our Hairbuster in a condo fire (they stopped making them). And decided to try the furminator. It’s fantastic for my buns – you just have to be careful not to overgroom an area or press down hard. I personally love it and have never had a problem with it!

            Thanks for the reply! It’s good to know that you’re able to use it without hurting your buns, and love it. I think I’ll go ahead and give it a shot, since we want to get one to use on the cat anyway. I’m confident we can be careful enough not to hurt them with it.
