Should I bath him?

This morning I was getting Rarby into his run and he totally freaked and ran off. I usually take him out first and he is fine but thought i would take lopi first for a change. Wont be doing that again.lol. Anyway when I eventually picked him up he has pee all over his feet.

Should I bath him? He's he's not acting any differently just has pee on him and I am now worried he may end up with fly strike (I did spray with protector on tuesday though).
 
I wouldn't bother. He's clean it off himself. Bathing him will just stress him out more. Keep his environment clean and if you really need to wipe the areas with a damp towel or some cotton wool. :)
 
I agree - it will just stress him out and then instead if having a little wee on him which will dry out fairly quickly, he'd be completely wet and that would put him at an even higher risk of fly strike!
 
Thanks guys. Sorry if thqt was a stupid questio. I did think it may be best to leave him but wanted to double check just to be on the safe side. He has
given himself a good clean now and is his beautiful self once again :)

No questions are silly. :wave:
If it were a dog it would be a sensible thing to do, but bunnies are a little different.
