Grooming a Grumpy Bunny?

[headphonesandkneehighs]

My bunny Linus is starting to shed a bit, but whenever I try to brush him he scampers away or nips at my toes. Getting him to let me brush him requires heavy amounts of bribery (and a little coercion), and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on training him to enjoy being brushed.

Thanks!

For me the best way to groom my girl is in the morning and with her favourite food. We kinda do this as a routine. I will give her some treats or fruits she likes, then she will sit still and let me brush her. Before she hopped away too when I tried to groom her. Lately she starts to get used to it. She knows when I carry a pink bag and her little plate for snack toward her, it means snack + grooming time ! I think keep brushing him every day will make him get used to it one day. I can't find better way than giving her treats

Or wet your hands lightly and just keep running them through his coat. If he likes being petted its the same thing.
