Yellow paws >_<

I'm sure this has been asked before, but does anyone know how to get the yellow stains off of rabbits feet? The bottoms of Benjamin's back paws are stained yellow, they used to be a lovely white! I assume from sitting in his litter tray.

Should I even bother with trying to get the stains off?
 
What do you have in the litter tray? Is there something to absorb the wee instead of his paws?

When Ant came to us his feet were filthy but in no time at all he had cleaned them and new fur grown. I know people have mentioned in the past that there are ways to clean them ... but I can't remember what it was! x
 
Yep, they have VERY absorbant wood pellets. I've also used megazorb occasionally when I've run out of the pellets but that doesn't work as well to me.
 
simple. shave it and the new fur will grow, use a shaver, make sure you don't use scissor, their skin is too sensitive and too easy to injure when the fur can mask the skin

Really? :? I wouldn't feel comfortable. I'd rather him have yellow paws than shave his foot pads, they're there for a reason.
 
my show rabbits if i do get a dirty one that loves to sit in his/her pee/poo i peroxide them with a special whitening powder and 20% peroxide really works miricles
 
please don't shave a rabbits feet..not a good idea

megazorb with hay on top is good for keeping bunnies off wee!
some people say white vinegar helps..but aslong as his feet are not sore I'd leave them,,,and just try differnent litters
 
Yellow fur doesn't do any harm so unless they need to be white for a show just enjoy the pretty new colours your bunny has :lol:

You shouldn't shave the feet fur as rabbits don't have hard pads like cats/dogs, the fur is the only protection :)
 
Just to add to what others have said. My bunnies never have yellow feet, and i use megazorb (huge litter tray - under bed storage from wilkos) and that gets changed every day.

Megazorb is the way forward :D
 
My NZ white has yellow feet - I use wood based litter with hay stacked on top. He's always been a mucky bun though. TBH, he was mucky all over until I paired him with Suki. She GLOWS white (including her feet), & despite me only seeing him groom her - & not the other way round - she must clean him, as he's a tonne better now. Except for the feet:lol:
