I found this video too short. She didn't show how to use the items she mentioned. I felt it would have been more helpful if she had gone into greater detail.

Do you have to have all that stuff for him/her or is just better for them

I know this video is old, but there is SO MUCH wrong information! Don’t EVER use a furminator on a rabbit!!! It can rip their skin fiercely! A furminator is based off of a #40 clipper blade, which clips so close to the skin, vets use it to shave animals before surgeries. Also in the beginning of the video, she is using a flea comb, that’s overkill and can end up hurting your rabbit by tugging on its poor skin. Use a regular metal-tooth comb and dog brush(with out the plastic tips), part the hair in a small section, comb and brush from skin to wool ends, and repeat all over a few times per week. A general hairCut schedule is every 6 weeks for house bunnies, at least every 2-3 months if you want to use the wool for yarn, and every 4-6 months if you plan to show. Let them have at least an inch of hair! I’ve never had rabbit like being short all the time, and I’ve owned them for decades. Anyone who sees this video, please pick another to watch on the topic if you actually want to learn the right way. Oh and papaya? The “enzyme” is called glucose. Papaya has a lot of sugar that stimulates the gut into pushing everything out(aka DIARRHEA). It doesn’t break down anything. Most feeds have some dried fruit to help keep from hair building up, and at an amount a rabbit can handle, no need to add any more. Just make sure they have plenty of clean water and hay and they’ll be fine.

I understand that she was nervous but this wasn't a very good video. It was too short and while I did learn one thing, the papaya and hay issue, what about the rest. I have a french angora. He matts but I want to spin his fur
