Thanks, all. I adore these little guys.

As a general rule, you groom juniors (under 6 months) once a week and seniors (over 6 months) once a month if they have proper coats which, mine do. Sometimes I'll go months without grooming and it just doesn't matter because they have such good wool.

More often, I groom just before a show. I show about twice a month during the show season (fall - spring).

I groom them with a Metro (professional, warm air blower), a Tangler Wrangler 7" Cat comb (has rolling tines, different widths on either end), and a Lil' Pals Shedding Comb (small comb, very close tines) for face, feet, and sensitive area with short hair. Those tools do a great job on them. I rarely use a slicker brush except maybe *just* before I put them on the judging table and then I only brush the tips of their wool for a nice finish.

It's fun. I like it.

Enjoy your habit ! Seams like a lot of work for my taste, as I prefer to eat my rabbits and find eating rabbit hair not to my liking.

It is quite a habit, though, grooming is not at all like grooming Angoras. *shudders* JWs are considered to have "easy care coats".

We enjoy eating rabbit, too. I'm pretty anal about things (it's helpful when you have rabbits like these) so I'm real good at getting every strand of fine wool and fur off when we process culls.

Oh so cute. My three rabbits are named Eve, 3 Faces, and Wally.

((((like the 3 faces of Eve- and Eve & Wall-E from the movie))))


Not sure I should have named them though...................

I'm with you on that one! But, then again my part time job is at a dog grooming shop so I will pass on rabbit grooming.
Some nice looking stock though. Glad you enjoy them. I know I enjoy my meat rabbits.
