Benefits to keeping your long-haired rabbit in a short haircut:
1. Keep cooler in hot weather
2. Less fur (and being free of mats) means greater range of motion, allowing them to be more active and athletic
3. Greatly reduces the amount of fur they will lick and ingest - less fur goes into the stomach to cause health problems
Rabbits like to be active and not overheated, so a short haircut can greatly improve a long-haired rabbit's quality of life!
Disclaimer: I have lived with house rabbits since 2001 however I am not a professional animal groomer. My technique is based on instruction I received from my veterinarian and the gradual refinement to what works in my household. This video is to share my experience with maintaining a fuzzy rabbit whose fur coat is in good condition and to show how to groom long-haired rabbits both safely and kindly. I recommend you consult with your rabbit savvy veterinarian for rabbit handling instruction if you are able to.
