π° Bunny Care Tip: Molting Season β AKA How to Become the Mean Lady
Have you noticed some of the Binkytown buns looking extra fluffy lately?
No, they haven't suddenly doubled in size. π
It's molting season.
And around here, that means everyone gets a little extra attention from their least-favourite employee: me.
Some of the buns β looking at you, Mochi & Misha π β are molting heavily enough that they're getting brushed every day or every other day just to keep up.
I'll admit, I tried to avoid becoming The Mean Lady.
At first, I wandered around their pens plucking loose tufts of fur whenever I spotted them because I know how much some of them dislike being brushed.
Unfortunately, with this many fluffy little overachievers, that turned into a full-time career. π
So... the brush came out.
During a heavy molt, rabbits can swallow much more fur while grooming themselves. Regular grooming helps remove that loose fur before they ingest it, which is especially important while we're also keeping a close eye on hay intake, hydration, appetite and poops.
Do the buns appreciate this dedication to their wellbeing?
Absolutely not.
Mochi generally finishes his grooming appointment by hopping away and delivering several very deliberate thumps.

β Mochi, probably
Nothing makes you feel more appreciated as a rabbit caretaker. ππ
