Cleaning rabbits legs

[Lisa_43]

Any idea’s how to clean rabbits back legs?

 

My Ebony lays in her litter box and the back of her legs are dirty.

 

I have wiped them with those baby wipes (scent free) it works but doesn’t get it completely off.

I would try spot cleaning with just a washcloth and warm water to see if it helps.

Baths are highly stressful for bunnies, so avoid them unless your vet recommends it.

I don’t know if you do this already but you might want to try putting some hay on top of the litter in her litterbox to keep her feet from soaking up the urine.

Thanks

 

I just raced out and did that, I didn’t realise you put hay in their litter box.

Awe no problem, that was sweet of you to run out there and do that!  The hay not olnly helps keep their bums and legs dry, it also encourages them to use it as well because they like to eat and do their business at the same time.

we put hay in the litterboxes here too 🙂

I had this problem, too. I found a website that said baby constarch is ok to use on bunnies (just make sure it’s talc free!). You just shake a little bit on the solied part, and brush it all out. It soaks up some of the moisture, and leaves them smelling oh-so-sweet!

Thanks wabbitlove. That’s a great site. I refer to that site all the time.
