As humans have to be careful with their hair, so we little rabbits need to be careful with our hair.

Both longhaired bunnies and shorthaired bunnies need special hair care, it is very important to always keep the hair dry, wet hair will create fungi and skin problems such as dermatitis and hair flaws, so bathing is not necessary. for us, (see here about bathing ).

Our hair grows according to the temperature, in winter we have a coat denser and even longer in the summer and have a thinner coat and sometimes even shorter.

So we have 4 hair seedlings in a year, usually in the 4 seasons , but the most intense ones are even in summer and winter, when we completely change our coat.

It is at these times that we usually end up with a health problem, such as gastrointestinal stasis or impaction (see here ) and why? Because we swallow a lot of hair and if it doesn't come out it will end up getting stuck in our stomach or intestines and will block , leaving nothing to pass.

So it is very important at these times of greatest fall, brushing our hair a lot, increasing the intake of water and hay, as well as helping our body with some good herbs for the hair to come out faster (see here the herbs that can give) .

If during the year brushing our hair can be done twice a week, at the time of the change it should be done daily or at least every 2 days, do not be alarmed by the amount of hair that will come out, it is normal and also don't be scared with us, we will look bad until the hair grows evenly again.

Depending on our hair, this should be the brush for brushing, short-haired bunnies, you can brush with a rotating tooth comb, a metal comb similar to the lice or even with a carder, it has to be you even experimenting on your bunny and seeing, as not all combs work the same on all bunnies.

In longhaired bunnies , what I learned from my mother, while watching her brush the hair of one of my cousins who had long hair and was always full of knots is that the best thing is to use a carder to untangle the hair and only then one hangs from the teeth to remove the dead hair, but if they see that they cannot undo the knots, take a small pair of scissors and cut that little piece of hair, then they can go back to combing the carder .

Both the comb and the carder must always be passed through the hair in both directions of the hair, so that there is not a little left to brush.

We should not brush our paws or tummy, we treat these parts.

Often to help the long-haired bunnies in these two large seedlings, the rabbit can be sheared, but not too much, it cannot go bald , it has to leave at least 2 human fingers of hair, so the rabbit no longer eats so much and it's also easier to brush.

The fall of the also happens when there are sudden changes in temperature, as when we see the weather that's coming a snowstorm and an overnight gets too cold, or that comes a storm desert and will stay werent heat, this it will make our system mess up and the hair will start to shed more, because we are cold or hot and we need to adjust our fur coat to the temperature it will be.

One must be aware that if we are sick, stressed, depressed or in trouble we can also lose by, you need to see very well to see Bunny behavior to drop by is because of the change of at or whether it is because of anything else, just look at your bunny, see if he is more apathetic , less active, thinner, if he has to be trapped if the bars gnaws, if he has big hair flaws in some part of his body or if has any unusual behavior, a bunny in the changes of the is a completely normal bunny, the only difference is that loses much by.
