🐰✨ BEFORE & AFTER — WHY REGULAR GROOMING MATTERS ✨🐰
Just look at the difference! This beautiful Doe had her groom today, and what a transformation. 💕
But grooming your rabbit isn't just about keeping them looking tidy — it's an important part of their health and wellbeing.
Rabbits naturally shed their coats and will groom themselves, meaning they inevitably swallow some hair. Unlike dogs and cats, rabbits cannot vomit, so anything they swallow has to pass through their digestive system.
Regular grooming helps to remove loose and dead hair before your rabbit has the opportunity to ingest it, reducing the amount of hair they swallow.
Too much hair can contribute to a slow or compromised digestive system, particularly if your rabbit is already not eating or producing normal amounts of droppings.
🧡 Regular grooming can help: 🐰 Remove loose and dead coat
🐰 Reduce the amount of hair ingested
🐰 Prevent painful matting and knots
🐰 Keep the skin healthy
🐰 Allow you to spot lumps, sore areas or skin problems early
🐰 Keep your rabbit comfortable, especially during moulting
And remember — grooming isn't just for long-haired rabbits! Short-haired rabbits need grooming too, particularly when they're moulting.
