Cutting Mats

Cutting Mats
How can i get rid of the mats on my bunny’s coat without hurting her?

I just bought a young jersey wooly at a pet store, she is about 5 months old.
She is in terrible condition! It looks as if they completely ignored her needs! Her nails are very long and sharp, she has huge bite marks all over her along with fur pulled out by a bunny she had to live with, and her fur is matted with HUGE knots EVERYWHERE.

I was going for another bunny but when i saw how bad she looked, I wanted to get her out of there.

But anyways…. thats beside the point HERE is my question:

How can I get rid of the huge mats without pulling her hair or being at risk of cutting her?

Any advice would be a huge help, Thanks alot!

(P.S sorry for the list of complaints, I had to get that of my chest)

When I got my angora she was in a similar condition to what you described. I got a brush and brushed out some but ended up shaving her with a razor. As her hair grew back in I brushed it so that it wouldn’t end up looking so bad. The fur grew back fast. 2 months and she has as much fur as before. Shaving will only work if your new bunny will sit still for you.

Xyron Personal Cutting System Electronic Die Cutting Machine Review

Overview:

• The Xyron Personal Cutting system is a computerized die Cutting Machine that is designed for cutting out shapes and letters for use in scrapbooking, crafting and for design applications.
• The system uses font books and shape books that allow you to quickly and easily choose the shapes that you want to cut out using the machine.
• This system allows you to quickly and easily cut out letters and shapes using Your Own decorative paper. It is simple to use and is even portable so that you can take it to scrapbooking parties.

Strengths / Features:

• The Xyron Personal Cutting System makes die cutting easier than ever. It uses extremely simple controls that allow you to choose a shape from your design book and then to choose the size of the shape that you want to cut.
• There are a huge number of design books available for the Xyron Personal Cutting system. The Machine Comes with One Alphabet font book and one book of Basic Shapes. These two books provide over 500 cutting options. With additional cutting books, there are literally tens of thousands of possibilities offered by the Personal Cutting System.
• The Xyron personal cutting system allows you to cut out shapes that are as large as 4″ x 4″ in size. Every shape in the design book can be cut in one of three different sizes (small, medium or large).

  Using the system you can cut through virtually any paper stock. You simply put the paper in the cutting drawer, choose the shape you want to cut and let the machine do the rest.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

• Although the Xyron Personal cutting system offers literally thousands of possibilities for shapes and sizes, it requires the purchase of font books and design books to expand its capabilities. Design books for the system cost around $50. That can add up if you want to collect a lot of shape books.
• The Personal cutting system uses a special blade to cut the shapes out of your paper. These blades need to be replaced over time especially if you are cutting through thick or fibrous papers. It also uses a special Cutting Mat to hold the paper in place during the cutting process. This mat will also need to be replaced over time.
• With the personal cutting system you are limited to the shapes and letters that are in the design books that you purchase. If you want completely custom Die Cuts including welded words you might want to consider purchasing the Xyron Wishblade which allows you to cut any shape or font that you have on your computer.

Recommendation:

• The Xyron Personal cutting system is a great Portable Die cutting solution. You can take it with you to scrapbooking parties or use at home for crafting projects.
• The Personal Cutting System comes out of the box with everything that you need to do your own die cutting. However, by purchasing additional design books you can greatly expand the capabilities of the machine.
• This makes it a great solution for users who want to be able to make their own die cuts at home and want an easy to use die cutting solution
