Show Prep

It was such a beautiful day, sunny and 70 degrees. So as many bunnies as I could manage, got groomed today. Most of them just sat on the table and enjoyed the nice weather but some had spring fever and just wanted to make a run for it. Sometimes I think about other breeds of bunnies and how little grooming they need. It must be nice to go swoosh with a brush and plop a bunny on the show table. Even the Jersey woolies don't need as much attention and patience with the coats as the angoras do. The preparation for a really beautiful show coat can take months of care, nutrition and cold temperatures. This winter has been hard with the
very irregular hot and cold often during the same week. This makes the coats somewhat choppy and irregular in response. Hopefully, now that spring is almost here they should even out. The older juniors are looking good but the white senior does still have some growing to do. Maybe it's time to invent Rogain for bunnies.
