Rabbit handling advice needed

[roundabout1]

We have two young lionhead rabbits about 12 weeks old. We got them from a localrescue centre . One is longer haired than the other & is very playful in the hay & has got a few bits tangled up in her fur. They have a large hutch with an attatched run although we haven't let them out in it yet. We have opened the hutch doors and they eatout of our hands & have given them a tiny bit of a brush. Problem is the longer haired one really needs a more through brush. Do e leave it until they are a bit more tame or does bite the bullet and pick her up & give her a more through brush?

Hi round

I'd say bite the bullet. We didn't with our second rescue bun and he's never been as calm as the other one. The more reassurance you can give, I would say is better.

Our first bun came along when my son was really into buns so he spent a lot of time with her and she's much more relaxed about being brushed, have her nails clipped etc. Whereas number 2 bun just wants to be left alone to do his own thing.
