Buckwheat

Buckwheat was a very unhoppy bunny yesterday.  Not only hot, but his coat has been starting to shed a little.  He is a cross of German French and Satin angora, has the easy going temperament of the Germans and a lovely lilac coat that is more French in character.  Not really pluckable but when it reaches about 3 inches, that fuzz just wants to buzz off, starting at his belly.  Where I don't see it.   The combination of shedding, high humidity, and rain means poor little Buckwheat had a few tight little matts pinching his belly.  When matting starts, it can progress fast.  Fortunately, I could see the wisps of shed fiber gathering around cage wire and I know that means some bunny needs a haircut.  I took care of that this morning.  Buckwheat was a very cooperative bunny, really showing off that laid back temperament.   And now that he is newly nekkid, he's a much happier boy.
