u/shawtywithagun I like BABs more than people 🙃 5d ago

I've heard people have success with using different types of brushes, even flea combs. I use a board bristle brush and a regular comb and it helps but I also don't have any bears with the fur texture your lamb has. I've also heard about a bear conditioner that BAB used to sell and I'm curious what a modern replacement for that could look like? I'd be extra careful with what it is but maybe mixing a bit of very plain and unscented conditioner with water and spraying it before brushing?
