Hi Varna,

We use a few different brushes.....

....we have two wire Slicker brushes...one xtra small and one smallone. These are good for deep brushing and removing loose hair, but wehave to be very careful when we're brushing close to the buns skin. Mybuns don't like these, but they do the best job for me.

....we also have some "petting" brushes with very softbristles.....kind of like a baby's brush. These are better for justlight surface fur grooming. They aren't too good at removing a lot ofloose fur though. The bunnies love these and it was a good was tointeract with the buns when we first got them. I think it helped themget accustomed to the slicker brush.

....lastly, we have a rubber bristled brush/comb. It's similar to theZoom Groom brushes. I didn't think it was very effective for groomingthe buns. It actually works better at getting the loose fur off of myclothes.

I use these too and love it , if you have a superMolt all you need do is wet the brush and off theexcess hair goes.

I hate those wire slicker brushes , I have had themisfortune of having a rabbit jump as i was bringing it downthe rabbit and have it drive under a nail, its one of thefastest ways to get an infection I have everseen. Figured if I get indection from it then arabbit would also , maybe faster if scratched. Ihave one rabbit who when she sees one coming will just aboutfaint on me .( tosed it in the fire ).

Wet hands and a good petting do an equally good job, just makes a bit of mess for your hands, but the rabbits seem to like teh hands on loving .
