I was in the same place as you with Lizzy a few weeks ago! She has very fine fur, too, and it flouts like a cloud EVERYWHERE!

The best thing I found was the furminator, followed by a rubber-bristled brush (it doesn’t have a name–I got it for $1 at WalMart, but I’ve seen them everywhere), followed by a damp papertowel. I take her into the kitchen where the floor is linoleum and slick and she can’t get away, and put her on a tightly-woven throw rug, to keep the hair contained (and so she has something to sit on). Then I use a tape lint-roller to get the fur off the rug.

I’d rather she just not shed, but this is the best answer I’ve found thus far..

I love the Hair Buster comb that is sold by Save a Bunny- my bunnies will allow me to comb them with it and it really grabs the hair.  The furminator works great- but they will not sit there and allow it like the do the Hair Buster.  They allow the Hair Buster as if I am petting them with my hand.

My cats like the hair buster too- but they allow the Furminator, it seems to aggitate them more than the hair buster-  but between the 2 I get loads of hair out of the cats.

I recommend damp hands if the bunny won’t allow grooming at all- or it is GREAT as a final step after furminating or hair buster’ing- as it pulls all the loosened hair out of their coat.  The loosened hair will only be shed soon or ingested when the pet grooms itself next.

i brush on either the kitchen table or the kitchen counter. this allows me to stand and groom, while making the bunnies just uneasy enough that they will not try to get away. be careful, this might not work for all buns, some might still try to get away, but i’ve found it works with mine. like the others, i rub them down very well with a wet paper towel afterwards and it picks up some of the loose fur.

Hairbuster comb you say? Everyone has starting molting again!! I go to work and it looks like I’m in dirty clothes I’m so furry!!

That’s great your bun likes the grooming! Mine all seem to harbor a grudge after a good brushing *sigh*

Luckily my Buster and Nibbles hardly shed, I brush them and I think maybe 30 strands of hair come off of their body. Now my Peanut on the other hand is a horrible shedder. She blows out her coat twice a year, it comes out in big clumps, and I’m surprised she is not bald by now. I have to take her outside to brush her due to the ridiculous amount that comes off. I’ve found that a cat flea comb works very well on her. Since the teeth are very, very close together it does an excellent job of pulling out loose hair. I also simply take my fingers/hands and fiercely rub her hinny, this causes her to go nuts and lick whatever is in front of her. If I stop rubbing, then she stops licking, when I continue the rubbing, she starts her crazy licking again. My neighbor hates when I do this because tumbleweeds of hair blow over in to her yard if I don’t catch them in time. I also wear an apron over my clothes, otherwise I look like a rabbit myself afterwards. I’ve tried dog slickers and the furminator brush and they don’t work very well for me. While your bun is only 3 pounds, mine is 9 pounds and rather chubby = more hair. Sometimes I wish I could just shave off all of her hair, hmmm I wonder what she’d look like? LOL!!

I think that might be what my problem has been Beka…I usually brush Drue on the floor.  Maybe he’s too comfortable there…I’m going to try on the table tomorrow and see how it goes..

lol ChubbyBunny about the licking, that’s so cute!

i groom in the mornings, after coffee but before i take a shower so i can just rinse all the fur off and throw my PJs in the wash…
