My bunny has short hair – no need to brush!”

This is a common mistake – all bunnies should be brushed! Not only does it help when a rabbit is shedding hair, it also strengthens the bond between bunny and owner. Bunnies are used to being groomed by each other – it’s a mark of respect in most cases. To groom your rabbit is to show them they are boss, but it also allows your bunny to get used to being petted and stroked by you. Shorter haired breeds need less brushing than a longer haired breed, but still need brushing all the same! Remember: rabbits can get fur balls just like cats, but unlike cats they are unable to cough it up and the excess hair that they swallow can cause blockages in their system. You may then find that your bunny cannot eat and they develop a round tummy. A vet should be called if this happens.
