        Hi all, I have 2 house rabbits that are less than a year old. Should I groom them? Is it a must-do? What will happen if I don’t groom them?

        please help me, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

         

        Thanks,

          It is good to groom rabbits, at least when they are shedding. Otherwise they could ingest too much hair when they groom themselves, and thst can cause tummy trouble.

          How often you need to groom your buns mostly depends on their fur type. Normal haired buns dont ususlly require much grooming outside of when they shed. Lionheads may need daily grooming, or their fur can form mats.

          I use a small slicker for my bun. I sit him in my lap when I groom him. Since hes not thrilled about being groomed, I usually do only half of him in one sitting.

          It can be good to place the bun on a towel on a table top for grooming. Give the bun a treat when you’re done.
