I would not risk using it on any animal.

I love the reviews of veet for men - sooooooo funny!

I would tend to agree with others and not use on animals

I have just read this review too! OMG!!! Excellent!!

I think this should definitely answer whether it is ethical to use on bunnies ..... definitely NOT!

I have just made the mistake of reading this review (and others) at work and have been found slumped behind the desk with tears running down my face.

I find Veet really hurts me (even the sensitive stuff), so can't imagine it's good for buns. There is a hilarious review (which you've probably all seen) on Amazon for Veet for Men, funny, but highlights how vicious the chemicals are! It talks about men putting it o testicles and how much it hurts! Personally, I'd stay well clear!

I've heard of this before but have never used it myself. We have a 50 blade that we use only on bunnies and it just gets swapped over when we need it. Since we started doing this, we've had no problems with clipping up.

[quote user="kulevet"]Can someone give me a guide on how much Veet to use and how long to leave it on - can it cause irritation - I have got the 5 minute one for sensitive skin thanks[/quote]

Personally, I would never use a "human" skin product on an animal (except for suncream, sudocrem and vaseline) for the simple reason that the skin pH is completely different. It would be a total nightmare if you did use Veet, and found later that it had caused skin burns for that animal.

Best thing to do is to carefully use a set of small clippers, preferably with a grade 50 blade (printed on the blade), which has been designed for rabbit fur, to remove the fur.
