Small Animal Grooming Glove
A soft rubber-nub mitt that lifts loose hair and gives a nervous rabbit or guinea pig a gentle, hands-on brush that feels more like petting than grooming. An easy, cheap way to keep on top of shedding between full grooms.

Our take
A lot of rabbits and guinea pigs tolerate a hand on their back far better than a hard-bristled brush, and this glove uses that to its advantage, its rubber nubs lift loose fur while the motion reads to the animal as being stroked rather than groomed. It works especially well during a heavy shed, when a few minutes a day keeps hair off the fur before it starts matting, and it doubles as a gentle way to check over the body and coat while you go. It is a light, everyday tool, not a substitute for a proper slicker brush on a badly matted longhair.
