ABOUT
Even though rabbits do a little personal grooming, grooming done by humans is absolutely essential to the health of pet rabbits.
When rabbits groom themselves they can ingest a lot of hair which can accumulate in the stomach, but unlike cats, rabbits cannot vomit or cough up hairballs. That means, if the hair doesn't safely move through the stomach and intestines, it will cause a potentially serious issue such as trichobezoar (matted hair in the stomach) or GI stasis (intestinal blockage.) Unfortunately, these can also be fatal. Leaving your rabbit to deal with their shedding hair is not safe and all pet rabbits need assistance de-shedding.
Rabbits also can’t brush through their hair and if not attended to, the hair will become matted. Matted animals will be restricted from full movement and experience pain. Matting also poses more serious risks like blood restriction to the extremities, hematomas and infections.
This all sounds a little scary- right? Well don’t be scared, we are here to help you and your bunny!
Please note we do not bathe bunnies as it causes too much stress on them and is rarely needed. If there is an extreme scenario in which bathing a rabbit is the best option, we will discuss a plan going forward.

This groom involves cutting back the hair, typically to avoid matting. Once a rabbit is matted, we have no option but to use an extremely short blade to getting under the mats. However, a Teddy groom can be done on a longer blade

This groom helps your bunny start fresh by removing matting. Sometimes this maybe just one small area, other times this is a full-body shave down. This can be a painstakingly slow process due to the fragility of rabbit's skin and keeping the rabbit free from stress, so please account for plenty of time when booking.
