  If I ever sleep in past bunny feeding time, I make Lily’s food into mash because she will eat very fast if she’s hungry. So she got the mash all over her nose and inbetween her eyes. I got a damp paper towel with warm water and tried to clean her face but she did not like that and it won’t come out of her fur. What should I do?

  Bunnies as you know, will clean themselves so I would just let her clean herself or let her partner if she has one do it.
  What are you feeding her that gets mashed up?

  She has been grooming herself and Cocoa has also been grooming her but it hasn’t come off. Just pellets with a little water. I’m worried about her choking when she’s so hungry so I do that if I accidentally sleep in

  Oh yeah, pellets never come off my buns haha. I used to have to do that with her or she would choke on them. Maybe you can buy some toys that you can put the pellets in so she has to work for them! I bought plastic dog treat balls and they loved them, it helps keep them clean and fit.

  Works great if they have a solid bottom cage.

  They do not have a solid floor, but they have multiple places where they can get off the wire. I normally lay down a towel and sprinkle the pellets on that but all the towels were being washed that morning. So what should I do to clean her?

  There isn’t too much you can do. You can take a warm wet paper towel and have it seal on her hair and then gently rub the pellets off but other than that, time will have it dry and then flake off. My buns usually always had pellets left under their chin. You could always make it less wet so it won’t be as messy.
