I would be careful using products designed for other pets on your rabbit as they can become very easily injured. If you'd like Lennon and Waffle to go outside or have more room to run around, an X-pen or other playpen type structure can help to keep them contained while allowing them to stretch their legs and get some fresh air. As for groooming, daily brushing of longer haired breeds can help keep the coat shiny, remove excess hair, and help prevent mats.
