Hello everyone!!

New pet owner here, need some advice on how to approach all this cleaning up!

The rabbit: Miniflop. Newton has loves to roam the backyard, eats a lot of grass. I've struggled to pick him up or to get him to sit still for periods of time. He keeps wanting to move around and doesn't seem to be very "calm" or likes to sit still (skittish is the word!). 14 months old. Boy. (Got him from a previous owner about 3 months ago)

I'm in Australia so we're just at the end of winter for some context :)

Ear Wax: I've started to notice some buildup of earwax (it's to the level its crusty and blocking the hole at least 70%). Everytime i try to get a cotton bud in hes aggressively shaking it away (I get its very ticklish). Need some advice on how i should clean it, or what tips and tricks have you tried and are worth a go!

Nail cutting: Need advice on this too!

Fur: So i've read some posts on fur brushing and have tried! He doesn't really like combs or any form of "brush". I've tried handcombing but even then I can barely get him to sit still for a decent brush through. I'm starting to see his coat is getting pretty thick! (I'm still not sure what matted vs not matted looks like)

Thankyou everyone!!
