I need help with my lionhead who is very very fluffy and for some reason he likes to sit in his poo all the time and it sticks to his tail, backs of his legs and around his bumhole! His cage is cleaned out regularly but after a couple of days he is clumped up again! He is hard to hold and clean as alot of the time the poo needs to be cut out of his fur! All the vets do is give us drops for his digestion but its not that, that is the problem! Any help will be appreciated!

Whereabouts do you live? Perhaps a fellow member of RU living nearby could pop over and help you clean your bunny's bottie.

Good question.

I get the feeling that the large pea mix rabbit museli might be the culprit. Perhaps consider changing his food over to a complete pellet food and of course still loads of hay, If you do want to change over the dry food, do it slowly over the space of a 10 - 12 days. Start by mixing a little in with the museli and slowly increase the amount of pellets daily and reduce the amount of museli. Worth a try.
Of course this would include his sister in this change over.
We have given them a mixture with the pellets before and they genrally left them and ate the rest! May pay to give them just the pellets as you say! They will soon get used to it!
