Keeping Feet Dry

[ratmom]

What is the best way to keep the feet dry? Wilbur hurt himself last week & his leg is getting much better, but he's peeing wherever he's at and he pretty much soaks himself. I can't bathe him every time he pees & his toes are getting raw from it now. Would covering them in vet wrap help?

you might want to put towels down in his areato soak up the urine

There is also a certain material that owners of medically incapacitated rabbits use to wick the moisture away from the rabbit and keeps them dry ..it may be in the library area on handicapped rabbits.

Maybe you can look through the library articles

Thank you for the link I'll take a look at it. I was thinking of fabric, but we've been using paper. I do have some fabric here so I'll go through it and see what I can use. thanks

We have a fleece bed that is used to keep them dry.

Polar fleece like you have vests, coats, and hats and stuff made out of is also used this way.
