Is it sore hocks?

Frosty seems to be washing his hind feet a lot lately and one paw is a bit wet. He has very dense fur on his feet and so this could just be retaining water/saliva where he usually washes them.

However, when we try to check to see if anything is wrong he is bit sensitive on one paw.

Could this be the first signs of sore hocks? Is it worth going to the vets to get it checked out?

If it is I guess it could be where he has been standing in some water or wee or such as he seems to be fascinated with such wet things (despite us trying to remove such wet things....).

Does anyone use Megazorb for rabbits? Is it safe?
 
We use Megazorb, is safe but suppose depends on if the buns eat it as obviously won't be good if they eat a lot of it! Our bun does not eat it! It's very good, doesn't smell much unless you shove your nose in it, and for £8.25 about every month and a half it a bargain! Especially as we clean her litter tray everyday!
