For a bum bath for Atticus ? I know you are aware that Rabbits should not have 'proper' full baths
When Lord H was having his bad gut 'issues' I just gave him bum baths using warm water. I try to avoid using a shampoo but if I did I'd use a tiny amount of fragrance free baby shampoo . I have used this one before https://www.hipp.co.uk/baby-care/our-free-from-baby-care-range/baby-shampoo/

Yeaaa it's either that or a trip to the vets, he has a plain water one frequently, but he was very unwell the other day randomly and managed to get very messy, I hoped a few normal ones would help but I think we need something otherwise its butt shave time [emoji51] his skins good which is the main thing is just he managed to sit in like more poop than ever (must just be my lucky day[emoji38]) and squish it into the fur near his tail.. Never seen him this messy before [emoji37] and yea I know buns shouldn't have a full bath
probably should've put that in the OP [emoji51]Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give that a go, don't think we'll need much just need something

Hi James, sorry my fault, I assumed everyone would know like Jane does that I'm aware buns don't need bathing, that's on me, I should have been more clear.
I have a rabbit with gut issues who often needs a plain water butt bath to stay fresh, I won't have him go outside without some protection either in case of flystrike, he basically produces soft poop constantly so tends to get messy sometimes. Well a day or so ago he set the record in how much he could sit in [emoji38] I've tried with just water, but he needs something else unfortunately or it's bum clip time at the vets, I reckon we can avoid that though.
Thank you for the info though and I'll be more clear next time

Graciee, I often have to clean Treacles bum in the morning, she has a habit of sitting in soft poo during the night. I keep an old flannel for the job, just using warm water, and rubbing gently gets most of it off. She's not keen though, but I get down on the floor and wedge her head first between my knees so she cant escape, that leaves me with both hands free. Oh the joys of bunnies :?

I've had a few botty explosions in my time and I agree with Petsmum that a flannel soaked in warm water does a really good job of cleaning it all up.
I've designated a light blue flannel for bum cleaning. I also have a dark blue one I use to put on my head for when I have a headache. One day I mixed them up and was laid out on the sofa wearing the light blue flannel on my bonce. Then I suddenly realised "Eurrrgh! I've got the poo flannel on my head!" It had been through the washing machine, but still...

Just to add, there is always a chance, however small, that Atticus's GI tract problems will spontaneously resolve. After 4 years of ongoing 'issues', Lord H now has no abnormal output, no huge splats of poo, no huge wet fecal pellets and no mucky bum. Nothing changed in his diet, he was not put on any Gut related medication. The 'miracle' just happened. Even though he still has all his other neurological/heart problems his GI tract problems have, for now, 100% resolved. If only I knew how or why :?

We used to dunk Charlie's rear end in a marge pot with dish soap This was the 1990s, and it was a very small amount of dish soap, and we did rinse him properly before he could get his face round there... Mostly the warm water did the work though. I think he secretly liked the attention, he was very good (for a raging Nethie who attacked the vet)
