Too Bad. I know what it's like to have knots in the hair and they are no
fun. I didn't realize bunnies got knots. My Old English Sheepdogs used to
matt something awful. There were times all I could do was shear them. I
also have a de-matting blade. I don't know what a bunny would think of
having that thing run through his hair though. I'm out of options.

I've found a shedding blade is perfect for bunny moult. The teeth are tiny
so it doesn't get near the skin and it does a great job of pulling out all
the loose hair.

I haven't managed to convince Nibbler to agree to that - he bites the
vacuum and chases it away. He doesn't mind when i go over him w/ a lint
roller, though, and that pulls out all his lose hair. I think the best
thing, though is a rubber curry brush, like a zoom groom or similar -
picks up gobs of hair and doesn't hurt his skin!

Bob is moulting like nothing on earth. I reckon there's enough fluff coming out of him to make a whole new bunny. He's
shedding it in a nice even coat all over his body. I keep trying to pluck bits of it out but he gets shirty at me,
storms off and gives me a hard stare whenever I go near him. He's grunted a few times and boxed me when I touched his
back leg. (Obviously an area I'm not to go near!!) I shall ask one of the boys to hold him tonight and see if I can
comb a bit out as I'm somewhat worried about the quantity he must be swallowing. When I stroke him he's surrounded by a
cloud of fluff and it gets into my eyes! He doesn't have any evidence of mites, he has just completed a course of
treatment for them, so it must be just a moult. I don't recollect a big moult like this before. My carpet keeps
changing colour and my vacuum cleaner cant keep up!!
