I've never had problems with mucky bottoms... and I check mine twice daily. ^^' Last year, my neighbour really 
me off though. He has a large purple flowering bush that he never cuts back, and it grows over the fence bordering on the back yard where my rabbit hutches are. This bush attracts lots of flies... It's the male flies (I found out) that like sweet things, like nectar, so loads of them would buzz around it. I didn't want any female fly drifting down looking for a mate, and thinking a hutch below was an easy place to find a place to lay her eggs. :roll:
So, the bus was chopped back to the other side of his fence - without asking his permission, but he never complained and if he had tried to, I'd have snapped. He's an appalling neighbour. The bunnies were cleaned out daily in the summer, bum-checked (which did not amuse them in the slightest), and I went on some plant growing craze where I had a list of plants and herbs to keep flies away with their scents. It was fun! I'm doing it again this year. My little Lavendar bush needs a friend, but it's bigger than it was last year! :lol: I tried growing Basil, and Cat Nip, too... The Basil however was eaten by snails, and I gave the untouched bits to the bunnies. The Cat Nip... well, our cats attacked it. I rescued two plants of it, and over the winter they've grown bigger and more stick-like, so they'll be up to living outdoors this year (out of reach of both bunnies and cats!)
