Sorry:- Should be FEET not feed, on subject heading ....
Hi All
Little Sox is white but has all black feet and bum due to the newspaper that lines the floor of his hutch and also his play pen in the lounge. I am thinking of changing this to either butchers paper or brown paper in the hope that it will stop his feed getting black.
But first, how do I get rid of the black on his feed as rabbits are not to have a shower?
Yes I could line the hutch floor with hay/straw like they do in the pet shops. I did try this the first few days and found that Sox would poo all over the place. I believe he has been brought up to poo in the hay/straws. So now the only place that has hay/straw is in the litter tray where he does his wees and poos. He does occasionally have a few accidents on the floor. Apparently from what I have read it is normal for rabbits to chew on straws whilst they are toiletting.
The question is how to I get rid of the black off their fur?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers, Carol
