  I put it in a plastic baggy and save it. Not sure what I’ll do with it though.

  It gets vacuumed up with dust, dirt and hay so I just throw it out.

  I throw it out, but considering the amount I can get off of Wooly I should be saving it. But then I would have to figure out how to make it into yarn.

  I vacuum it up or throw it out.
  
  I did offer to save it for a friend who knits in case she wanted to start spinning. Haha.

  I love bun hair after brushing…so soft!!!
  
  Then I start to eat it and it gets stuck in my contacts and I get irritated and throw it in the trash. I also use a shop vac and randomly vacuum the air like a crazy person because I know that there are bun hairs flying around!

  I just throw it out in the compostable garbage. It’s a shame though. When Bindi’s shedding, which he’s doing right now, I get handfuls every night and it’s so soft and fluffy. I could use it to stuff my crafted throw pillows, I guess. Better not give them as a gift to anyone allergic to bunnies!

  Porky doesn’t make useful fur. It’s too short to spin, and his molts aren’t terribly sudden. The bunny I had as a teen, Nibbles, would shed in all at once in a clear pattern, but Porky tends to be more sporadic. Porky’s fur just gets thrown away off the comb, or vacuumed up off the floor.
  
  The funny thing is, I am a spinner and I sometimes buy angora fur to spin.
