- In this video I explain why you need to brush your rabbit; besides the fact that there's just something so therapeutic and peaceful about it to me. I explain how brushing your rabbit may stop intestinal blockages for a bunny going through gi stasis.

All the fur I brush from my bunnies I collect and keep in a little bag so one day i’ll be able to make needle felt toys of them with their own fluff 🥺
My god, I love that idea!
@Iuvryujin it’s wool thats matted together using a special needle to create models of things (usually cute animals) if you youtube or look up online you can find loads of tutorials 💕
Beautiful bunnies. Good video.
This video felt like a HUGE flex because our rabbit refuses to be brushed! LOL, we're still trying to condition him to enjoy it or at least tolerate it somehow though
Omg same with my Rabbit... she will not let me brush her.
my two male 2 year old dwarf lops hate being pet and groomed. It's such a stressful experience for them and me. I try and try to get them to trust me but just as I build some goodwill in their eyes then I have to take them to the vet for their vaccine or something else happens and then they get angry at me and hold a grudge for ages ...
Rabbits have a ONE way tract system so brushing is one of the most important care tips. Many different methods depending on who you talk to but I love that you say to make it an enjoyable experience for them. Once people establish that with their buns it makes it easier to do on both ends.
Absolutely! It’s a very necessary thing to do for them I can’t imagine they like eating all that loose fur 😅
You mean their front and rear ends?
@@Katesque haha me either! Even though I am pretty sure I have consumed so much bunny fur it’s amazing I haven’t had gi stasis! 🤣
I find that a diy hair buster made from a flea comb works a lot more effectively at brushing the fur from my bun's butt and thighs compared to the hairbuster from small pets select. There is also a small pet furminator that is really useful for brushing out the top coat when rabbits shed but can lead to overbrushing if misused and also has small blades I think. To be honest hairball blockages aren't really a cause of GI Stasis but more a result of it. The cause would be not eating enough hay and water thus resulting in the slowing down of the gut system, and if the rabbit grooms themselves while experiencing GI stasis then fur can accumulate, same with veggies and pellets.
Same the hair buster doesn’t even work on my rabbit that’s a mix of Havana and something else. idk why the flea comb grabs more and it’s more easy to work with. I guess it’s the type of fur that he has
What have you used for a hairbuster? I have a comb with an elastic band wrapped between the comb but it's useless on them! I have the small furminator brush and it works better on one than my other! I recently picked up another silicone brush and that works better than the other I have haha! Still not amazing though!
@@SammiJN1991 I use a flea comb with a rubber band too lol I haven’t tried other brushes I might try rubber dog ones I heard is good
Thanks for clearing that up and explaining the cause of gi stasis more thoroughly! And yes I totally agree the hair buster isn’t the only comb you can use especially for different fur types for bunnies xx
@@SammiJN1991 u can go watch lennon the bunny's hair buster diy video! u dont have to have the one with 2 rows though, 1 works fine. i have one and it works really great! the cons of it is just it's a bit small, so i might buy a bigger flea comb and diy it again 😅
I wish I could just pick up my bunnies but mine are suuuper jumpy when it comes to picking them up 😅
Mine didn’t see it coming 😂😂😂 they were just chillin thinking they were getting a head pet hahaha get em when they least expect it
Same!
I dont even have a rabbit i just like it
I really enjoy your videos and your ca mature 🥰!
I have three boys all neutered but feel like giving up on bonding them. I like to watch all three of yours be happy together lol. ❤
Yeah, I just got my first Spring brush done two days ago!
4 cute Bunnies.
Hey, YOU! Have an awesome day, cause YOU! ARE! AWESOME! ✨
Thank so much for leaving links to products all the time💓
Hi 😊
I’m from Melbourne too! I have 1 rabbit I clean the stuff out of his eyes like three times a day he loves when I do it and I find it so satisfying too 😂🥰
How do you pick your bunnies up so calmly?! My bunnies freak out as soon as I put two hands on them! 😅
My bunnys HATE brushes, we tried all the kinds now :( also tried to be verrrrry soft, but no, instant disapproval. Out of ideas tbh :c
My bunnies too!! I feel like they hold a grudge against me for a week after brushing them :/ But it has to be done
Honestly just petting them and pulling out the loose fur works too! xx
miss your channel, youre the most realistic bunny channel
I was warching this and one of my buns just launched himself out of his pen...😂
Que hermosa casa es muy linda y que lindos son tus peques es que me encantan los conejos 🐇🐇🐇 saludos desde Chile
i saw thumbnail and was like:

I just stumbled across your channel and Milky has almost the same color and pattern as my Zola! 😍
wow first time i was this early!! sending love from my bunny to yours ❤️
Hey! What's your bunny's name?
Congratulations on your engagement 😁😁
Love your videos and I am not even a bun parent. Heh!
Wow! I'm a hot, sweaty mess after just one bunny to brush. Needless to say, my bun gives me a hard time when I groom her. 😂
Awwww they're adorable where did you get them?
yeah when i pick up my bunny and stroke her its like a cloud of fur. I need the correct brush to do the job
hi:) i have a question. how do you let your rabbits run free without them gnawing in anything?
hi. can i brush my bunnies hair at 8weeks old? 😁 love your videos by the way
Oh no, do not start brushing your bunny until they have a line in their fur sorta like a dent, I haven’t started brushing my bun yet, but I recommend starting to do it a 6 months of age or when their poop may be linked with hair. Hope this helped :). P.s my bun is 4 months old
Where is your cage from like the floor in gonna get a rabbit
It's just c&c grids
i've a rabbit and he's my first rabbit so i'm still learning but i've heard that you need to really brush your rabbit everywhere even their stomach and near their genitals, my rabbit doesn't have a buddy because unfortunately my mom doesn't allow it :( i tried to groom my rabbit there today and it seems really matted, i managed to get some out but i can't really get a good look at it, my rabbit's quite a scardy cat so when i hold him he curls his head to his foot, i was wondering if anyone has any tips for me to be able to groom that area? ❤️❤️
Maybe go to a proffesional groomer they can show you how to do that.
Hi! my rabbits are terrified of getting picked up and groomed. What should I do?
my rabbit used to be the same way!! I started by grooming him on the floor and when he ran away I just slowly chased after him and continued to groom. :)
Hiii I’m 2 minutes early! Yay!
HII!!

how do you know this?
The more I brush my rabbit, the worse it gets. So no, brushing is not needed. Brushing disrupts the natural shedding system because good hairs will be removed as well. And the combs are damaging to the rabbits skin! It's a bad idea. The only way is using a wet cloth to get rid of loose hairs or a soft brush made of swine hair
