cashmere rabbits...

im having an issue with y cashmere bunnies....now iv been told to grrom them and get them knot free, so iv been teasing the matted bits and now they have gone bald...lol

i have had advice from the lady who bred mam n dad bunny, and told me its normal, and that when they grow their fur back it will be silky soft and wont get things stuck in it...

if anyone can find any useful info on this id be gratefull....ie josie.... ...lol

im so sorry helen, she is gonna look like a right scruff saturday, if id known id have started this earlier... the teasing the knotts out!! but itll keep your son quiet...lol

og she suggested to keep them on wooden pellets helen....as then it wont get matted!!

just one one of those things Tayer it will grow back ... I am glad i haven't got to groom Burdock thou ..x

i dont think i could sell them to someone who dont want an indoor rabbit, itll just get dirty and matted....they need allot of attention, i think.

Yeah only till they get their adult fur though right ?

i dont know....may keep the other cashmere, untill that point...wouldnt like to give him up looking like this, i know helen will understand and know pudding havnt got allipeesha...however you spell it.

Tayer, no worries, I was planning to keep her on carefresh but if wooden pellets is better then that is what she will have.

She is so definately going to be an indoor bunny - she may be a little scruffy but it doesn't phase me Tayer - will save the fur and get somebody to knit me a mohair bunny jumper x

I had a bunny like this tayer and she went patchy with bald spots when she was a baby but as soon as she got a bit older her texture of her fur changed and it wasn't so fluffy and woolly. I bet they will grow their adult hair and they will have no problems

everything should be okay tayer... when rabbits moult, usually when they go through a big moult, they do sometimes get bald patches... as long as the skin exposed is clean, not flakey or raw i should think it is just the baby coat changing again xxx

important: get most of the hair off yourself, if rabbits groom themselves (or each other) too much they can get hairballs and blockages...

(btw... rabbits have two big moults a year and two little ones xxx)

you might even find they change colour a bit chick xxx

ah thanks girls, although amanda told me its ok, its still feel better when other people agree...their bellies went bald early, and is now growing back lovely....

have you got a home for your other buck tay? xxx

no not yet....i have put an ad in the local trader which dont come out till wednesday....but i dont want to see them go to any-one...
