If your rabbit doesn't like to be held gently wrap him/her up in a towel and do a little bit at a time. Also when choosing a brush DO NOT choose one without plastic tips, the other kinds are much too pointy and hurt their skin.
Just for perspective I just brushed this much fluff from Joshua and I have been brushing him every day:
Edit (12/9/12): As mentioned in the comments, rubber brushes are also perfectly fine. I'm sorry for the omission.
Can I use a rubber tipped brush?
ReplyDeleteRubber tipped brushes are best, other brushes will hurt your rabbit's skin. Remember to brush gently no matter what!
