grooming

My little one has been shy about grooming and usually likes a little privacy. So I am help over fears and sharing with the world! :)

I’ve been asking a lot of stuff but bare with me. I always stick my hand next to pickle so he can sniff me. Today he put his head under my hand and flattened on the floor. So I went to stroke his head and give him cheek rubs, after a bit I stopped and continued on with my day. I’ve been...

Anybody else have a rabbit who became less 'childish' and more 'mature' as they grew into adulthood? He used to lick me a lot as baby without wanting to be petted in return. Churro still happily greets me when he hasnt seen me in a while, running around me in circles (left to right and right...

I never force Tu Shen to be on me. I don't pick him up unless I absolutely have to, like clipping his nails. But this morning, Shen decided he wanted to show how much he loves me by climbing onto my chest and groom my shirt. It's the best feeling in the world, getting this much affection from my...

Hi all, I have 2 pet rabbits both less than a year old. Is it necessary to groom them? What are advantages of grooming? If I don’t groom them, what will happen? please help me, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, fuzzyWabbit

Hello I noticed Derwin is moulting at the moment I can see the moult lines in his fur, I was wondering if I should try brushing him. He’s not a long hair breed when it is more of a necessity than a pleasure but does anyone else groom there rabbit and do they enjoy it? Thanks

Hey, Does anyone have any tips for grooming your bunnies, everytime I groom my rabbit, he always lunges at me and growls then runs away, He doesn’t let me groom his stomach either. Any tips would be helpful

I am in the process of bonding my two rabbits. An older female and a younger male. The male is fixed and the female is not. The bonding has been going well so far however, when the younger male grooms my older female he seems to be pulling too hard. I noticed this after I saw the female had a...

Hi- so after 2 months of bonding through an X pen, I have been reintroducing my two fixed bunnies after my female was spayed. They went 24 hours together free roaming with no fighting, lots of grooming, cuddling, and binkying, but last night my female started trying to mount my male since she is...

My bun Bella was left out last night in my bedroom because she wanted to sleep on my bed. This happens a lot and sometimes she’ll sit and “groom” my face and nibble at my baby hairs....... but last night went a bit too far I woke up with a massive chunk of my hair gone! She’s managed to chew...

I adopted Frost from the Humane Society over a year and a half ago. She was there because her previous owner (who had her for the first year of her life) was an animal hoarder. I believe that she was neglected. She was used, the day of adoption, for a Bunny Basics training class, where she was...

Hello guys! I have a bit of a strange situation with my bunnies, and I'm hoping someone here can have some enlightening opinions. I have two bunnies. Angel is two years and been spayed for 1.5 year. Teddy is approximately 6 months and also spayed two weeks ago. We rescued Teddy 3 months ago...

Hey guys So I was reading this article from rabbit haven and I thought it gave great advice on grooming except, in the pictures, the people were holding the rabbit on its back. I’m really scared of trancing and I wanted to know your thoughts on it? Are there any other ways I can groom my bunnies...

Curious how folks groom their rex rabbits. I've heard their skin or fur is sensitive so I'm really not sure what to use...

I rescued two Holland lops a few months ago and were both fairly scared/shy rabbits. I don’t know their past at all, but what I do know is they HATE being handled. I’ve tried covering the eyes, blankets, holding them tightly so they don’t feel scared. You name it, but they will wiggle out no...

I have pictures of the process of this spot to today’s date scroll to the bottom of all the information for the pictures. So since May 19 I noticed a bit of redness to my bunnys neck/dewlap and looked kinda like a hot spot. I put cream on it and it started to heal. I’ve watched it everyday...

Hi guys, I have a 1 year old girl and 3 year old boy bunny who are both desexed. We have been trying to bond them and things have been going really well (they flop together, they groom each other, they hang out side by side together etc.) They are still separated overnight with a play pen, but I...

Hello! So in the past few months I have sort of...ended up with a rabbit. It's a bit of a long story but basically I work at a nonprofit (on a farm) that works with at-risk girls and horses. One of the girls had a bunny she couldn't care for and brought it to us. The poor thing was underweight...

I really need help. Im sick of my rabbit being uncomfortable but, every single time i trim his nails, or get them trimmed he RIPS them out.. He's more uncomfortable when i trim his nails than when i leave his nails.. But they NEED to be done eventually.. Every time, no fail, he rips them out...

Hi, I am fostering a pair of young rabbits as they went through the surgeries to get fixed. I had some very long petting sessions with the female especially now that she is recovering from her spay surgery and she even has taken the posture that shows she wants more pets. The male on the other...
