What's the best way to remove a lot of poo from a rabbit's bum? Bare in mind that this is a 3.25kg rabbit who hates being poked and prodded and has already damaged the tendon in my left arm by kicking me when I was cleaning his nose the other day. He did this while he was wrapped "securely" in a towel.
Do I try and wrap him in a towel again and use scissors? I don't think baby wipes would help at all, there is over a golf ball's worth there, some dry some squishy. All over his balls and bum, so I'd have to be so careful with the scissors and he might kick. But I have done it before this way, just not on such an extreme level.
Or I can bath him. But he can be very stressy and has snuffles so teh stress might make it worse. I'd have to sit in the bath with him to hold him and I would only bathe his bum. Either way will stress him out and hurt me but there are flies outside...
Or I take him to the vets. :?
