OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.

Hi all, I recently made the goal to begin brushing Gus after realizing he was starting to get a mini mat on his back. He has never had mats anywhere outside of the groin, which we go to the vet for, so I had figured brushing wasn’t necessary. Seeing the mat made me realize it…

Yep, that’s the one for the Meridian clippers. This is the Wahl one I used (or similar – I had gotten it from a local farm supply store, but this one seems to be the same): https://a.co/d/3nYTJZr

Keep checking her food/water intake and poo/pee. I usually clean (bedding, litter, soft toys) right away and give myself and bun around a year to grieve. For my buns, they may be a bit off afterwards but usually return to normal behavior within a couple days but during the year, most buns personality change…

Reply To: Bunny Grieving – What is normal and what should I look out for? - BrunosMama 08/30/2025 05:05 PMHello! I’m sorry to hear of your loss. 🙁 I’m sure its hard on both you and Penelope bun. I have had similar experiences when a close bonded bun loses its mate. Most of the symptoms were loss of appetite, not super active, and in one case, the bun just shut down – he didn’t…

My rabbit Penelope just lost her bonded partner of 9 years (she’s 10 and he was 13 years old). She went with us to the vet and spent time with his body, but she’s very lonely. I plan to bond her again soon to help her move on from her grief. Since his passing,…

Yeah, the small clippers like the manscaping ones are great because they are easy to use and are lightweight. But the downside is they aren’t as powerful for cutting.
-
Buns are bonding right now so with the slight roughhousing, everyday he gets new mats 😆 Between my child sized hands and bun being <2.5 lbs, I was hoping for something smaller and lighter. Was looking at the mini version of that clipper https://www.amazon.com/Wahl-Professional-Animal-MiniArco-8787-450A/dp/B000634JDU/ but then realized, the description says it’s for light trimming only.

Do you mean https://www.amazon.com/manscape-ball-trimmer-men/dp/B086W36F2W/ And which Wahl did you use?
-
Oh wow, that is some thiiiiiiiiick fluff. Hmm… what about something like this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0084EHWDW?th=1

I have also had some luck with “manscaping” clippers. I have one from Meridian that worked really well for my old bunny, Churro. He was a Fuzzy Lop and his fur tangled if you looked at wrong lol. I found the clippers on Amazon. I have also had some luck with a small pair of…

Unfortunately, the little monster has thick fur, especially around his butt https://imgur.com/a/mooncake-W6ojMWV I just adopted a relative of his but in her “original form” pictures, I think I may be able to get away with not trimming her but right now, well, the shelter trimmed her and she looks like a Netherland Dwarf instead…

Thanks LBJ10. Figure it may take a bit, but you’re right we will get back there! She’s not a people bun like Dorian, but she had decided I was part of the gang. I am hoping she let’s me back in to the cool rabbit club soon!

Hi Mia! I would recommend the kind that are for “manscaping”. They are small, quiet, and easy to manage. I would use my husband’s old clippers. I think they were Wahl. The only downside is they aren’t meant for thick hair. Definitely only for trimming wispy bunny fur.
-
Looking for recommendations for clippers, in particular, smaller sized ones as I find normal ones unwieldy. Bun in need is a lionhead with thick long fur. After a year of trimming my little monster’s fur (1x/month), I’d like to try exploring clippers. Despite trying to sharpen the grooming shears, which did work very well…
-
If the vet thinks it could be his back, then I would look into getting him on a regular regime of pain meds. Like I said, at this stage, it’s more about making them comfortable (as opposed to worrying about potential side effects from long-term use).
-
Thank you for your answers. Yes, it could also be a disc issue. A vet previously mentioned this when I visited after my rabbit groomed himself, slipped, and couldn’t get up. He has had a rough patch (like small harder bumps) on his ear for years, and whenever I touch it, his head moves down…
-
Thanks so much for your help ❤️
-
Yes, it can be permanent. If it was caused by an IV, it isn’t anything to worry about.
-
Yay! I’m glad you’re done. She will forgive you eventually. Once she realizes you’re only there for good things, she’ll come around.

If he’s previously been dx’d with arthritis, it could be the degree has increased and/or perhaps some spinal issues coming up. It is somewhat common in older rabbits. My Galaxy expressed similarly until she started her Meloxicam. If there is recent imaging, I’d talk with the vet if a medication trial may be worthwhile.
