Surely can't be good?...

[happybunny]

I've noticed that Bunberry licks his pee, surelythat can't be good :shock:. And Tarragon does it to but half as much.HELP!!! I'm worried, I've never heard of a rabbit doing this before?

P.S I've noticed hes done it pretty much since we first got him.

Do you mean that he's cleaning himself?

 

[happybunny]

no its when its on the floor:shock:

 

[happybunny]

Does this mean he iscleaning himself? I do clean his hutch every day...

 

[Lissa]

So he's licking up his urine off the floor? :?

Not certain why they do it. It reallydoesn't hurt anything if he's licking his own urine, however, someparasite cysts may be spread through urine. Ireally wouldn't be too concerned about it though.

Is he getting enough to drink? I've never heard of a rabbit doing such a thing.

I've seen my little guy do it once in a while.


Thanks for the information, Pam.

You think that's strange? Rex likes the taste ofSimple Green. I've never let him near the actual product, but when Iclean with it, he proceeds to lick every surface I used it on. Freak...
