Re: moult

Quark's skin gets sensitive during a shed.  I have a small rubber
curry brush for him, too.  He tolerates it better than he does the
other brushes.

Sometimes he lets me pluck him.  Other times he acts like it irritates
him.  I think his skin is more sensitive than Jessie's is.  Jessie
will let me pluck her and comb her with anything.

... I think the best

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!

Dave Vacuums his rabbit.... Worth a try!

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!!
