1.i take my rabbits and get a spray bottle and spray them all around their body but not too much.
2.i get a paper towle and do circles with it on the rabbits body with the water.
3. i get a dryer paper towle and wipe their fur until it is dry.i do it at shows and it makes their fur all shiny.

horselover99How can i keep a mini rex rabbit's fur nice and shiny? please answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
brushing is the best thing, it helps seperate the old, dead fur from the new shiny fur, helps keep circulation going in her skin to help that new fur keep growing
actually, you can bath them in baby bath or baby shampoo, and it makes them super shiny and super soft.
Ack! Don't brush her! Don't bathe her. Leave her coat alone. You want to keep as much fur on her as possible but still give her a nice finish.
Put water in a spray bottle and mist your hands. With your rabbit facing you, rub your hands back towards her tail then back up towards her head again and again. Do this for ten minutes. Don't press hard- no need. As the loose fur collects on your hands and the water mist dries, just rub your hands together to get the fur off your hands. Mist your hands again and repeat. Ten minutes should do it. That's all you do.
My niece says she only does that just before she's going to show them. You really want to protect that coat so it stays as dense as possible. When picking her up, NEVER grab the scruff of the neck. It will damage her coat. Instead, place your hand over her ears and put your forefinger and thumb on either side of her jaw bone. Use your other hand to lift her bum and support her legs.
As for keeping her coat shiny, that should do it but you can also give her a teaspoon of black oil sunflower seeds every morning (don't over do it or it could thow her into an early molt).
Also, keep your rabbit's cage/pen as clean as possible to avoid dirty feet/bottom. Trim her nails the night before the show. You don't have to do much.
Ah, and remember to get her tatooed if she isn't already.
Good luck and have fun showing!
P.S. I do not put any products on my rabbits on my rabbits to change texture, color, sheen, etc. per ARBA show rules.
use ';Mane %26amp; Tail'; shampoo, you can find it at Walmart
In australia at Petbarn you can get this stuff called Puppy spritz. I originally got it for my ferret. You spray a bit on her fur and it smells like baby powder. It also has lanolin in it which will make your bunny's fur shiny. Its ok for them if they lick it. It's not harmful to them. Do this before you go to shows. Minutes before she goes 'on stage' Her slick hair will look better and i think the nice smell of her will earn a few points too. Im only suggesting as i have had rabbits in the past but never had them for show. Good Luck in your show anyhow.
