 Thought the UK vets may have an insight into the best clippers and clipper blades for shaving rabbits. I work at a practice within a pet store (full veterinary facilities) so we see quite a few rabbits. We are finding it takes ages (hours sometimes</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>RE: Clipping Rabbit Fur</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/200151?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 21 Jul 2018 10:59:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:b583677a-916c-4008-9d16-fb53f391bec2</guid><dc:creator>Marie Kubiak</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Keep a set of sharp blades hidden purely for rabbit hair - just a couple of clips of thicker cat/dog hair will blunt them enough to make them useless for rabbits so the usual practice clippers won&amp;#39;t work.&lt;/p&gt;

Careful not to push it out too far. It shouldn&amp;#39;t happen if the blade is sharp, but often you have to struggle on with what you&amp;#39;ve got.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Clipping Rabbit Fur</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/200103?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jul 2018 08:44:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:123d987e-c6a0-4403-a011-2fc2c9daecee</guid><dc:creator>Rob Loxley</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Yes, they&amp;#39;re a pig; I find a pair of brand new, sharp #40 blades seem the best, and regular use of the toothbrush to de-clog them of the fine hair&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
