  I need help know that rabbits need to be brush and have tried everything. My rabbit won’t let me brush her or pull the clumps out by hand and Im not sure what to do. I’ve tried so many different brushes and when I try and pull the clumps off her butt most of the time she will get kinda aggressive but she won’t allow me to brush her either. Please help

  It is actually uncommon for a rabbit to be willing/OK with an owner grooming them. Usually some restraint, resistance, etc. is normal and is something owners and rabbits need to tolerate as a part of the grooming process. There is great guidance and videos on grooming here: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Grooming
  
  My approach is to choose whatever method is most effective (while still being gentle; i.e., not ripping out fur) and being stern in having the rabbit tolerate these grooming sessions that are shorter and daily during a molt.

  If she’s really molting badly, you may need to pop her on a table and do a deep grooming. I have to do this with one of my bunnies. She hates being handled, so it’s just easier to get it all done in one go, rather than constantly bothering her with the brush.
