Gave Bracken a major trim up tonight

Have given Bracken a major trim up around his back end, it doesn`t look pretty but hopefully it will be easier to keep clean and drier.

He has a terrible habit off sitting in his wee, their are litter boxes which they use most of the time, but now and again he wee`s on the newspaper which lines the run to keep it soft for Florence.

I don`t like totally bathing him everyday and have been using a wet flannel and baby wipes then towling him dry and putting on rearguard.

But it takes ages to dry his when his coat it so long.Hoping now it will be easier.

Have been spraying around the dynamite fly spray in the shed, can you spray a small amount on rabbits??? I found a few green bottles in the shed tonight. I keep it clean by mucking out morning and night but am frightened about flystrike.
