  It’s probably easiest to cut knots out, then brush her from now onwards to prevent further knots. Obviously be very careful when cutting round her eyes.
  
  In fact, since you only just adopted her, it might be best to take her for a vet check up anyway, and get them to help you

  Use baby scissors (the rounded ones), for trimming bunnies 🙂

  I comb my lionhead’s bum fluff daily so I can relate!! I use a double sided metal comb (fine & extra fine teeth) to untangle the knots, if you’re gentle you shouldn’t hurt her. If you can hand feed her some favourite treats too she’ll be way more excited about those to notice you wiggling a comb through her fur
  I also agree with Sirius&Luna, best to take your bun for a check up & the vet should be able to help tidy her up.
