Hi all, as I mentioned in my recent intro thread i don't currently have any buns of my own (just 9 piggies) but I do look after bunnies for people when they go on holiday.
I have a question for all you bunny experts. Two buns have arrived today for a two week stay. At home they live in a hutch/run combo situated on the lawn. One of the buns has trouble keeping it's bottom clean and his owner said that recently it has been much worse. I am wondering whether because they have access to grass daily he has been consuming more fresh spring grass and this has made his problem worse? They are used to being in a hutch with sawdust and hay and they use a litter tray filled with sawdust, although the owner said the mucky bun tends to sit in the litter tray most of the time. His owner has made sure he wass nice and clean on arrival, if a little damp, but said he will probably need washing daily. They have excel pellets and plenty of fresh hay and the owner said she only gives them a small amount of fresh food daily.
So, does anyone have any suggestions about trying to keep this little guy clean and comfortable. I am concerned that this little chap is going to get into a horrible mess so any help you can offer would be very much appreciated. Thanks for reading.
