types of rabbit

Bunnies are heart-meltingly cute, and more so are long-haired rabbit breeds. Those furballs, which are a bit fluffier than the rest, have an appeal that’s so hard to resist.
But the adorable cuties do come with a downside. They require more grooming than buns with short hair.
Short-haired rabbits usually need brushing only around once a week, or even less when they’re not molting.
In contrast, you’ll have to brush long-haired buns every day to keep their coat in top condition. Skipping that necessary chore can lead to knots and tangles on their fur.
