Honestly my friend has the same problem
With her Angoras, so she gets the 98 cent ones from Walmart!

Despite being a little high-maintenance in terms of grooming, his cuteness makes up for it! I know a lot of people recommend the Hairbuster, or any comb with similar structure.

I have a netherland dwarf, so not a long-haired breed, but I find daily grooming sessions that are shorter can work wonders, as opposed to longer grooming sessions spread further apart.

I also know some people use scissors to generally shorten the hair length in trouble spots to prevent matting. Is this something you’ve considered?

I believe fuzzy lops have guards hairs since the wool gene was introduced by crossing french angoras with holland lops. If your bunny has guard hairs, then grooming is much easier. I use a hairbuster comb on my Jersey wooly. I often have to lift up the wool and comb underneath, near his backside first. Then I work my way upward and forward (toward the front of the body). The hairbuster comb does a good job of griping the loose wool. When he is molting, I groom him as much as I can because the loose wool will start sliding down the guard hairs and it will come off in chunks when I brush him. However, if the wool isn’t ready to come out, don’t force it. I’ve found that it isn’t worth it. LOL
