Wet bum, young lion lop 10 weeks old

[AgeAtomic]

Hi guys

New to the forum. Looking forward to chatting with you all.

I have two new rabbits: Lion lops, 10 weeks old. I've noticed one of them, over the last couple days, has a wet bum quite often and also wet paws. The other rabbit hasn't had this at all. Is this something we should be worried about?

Thanks in advanced

By 'wet' do you mean wet from pee or wet from loose stool? What type of diet are they getting?

I agree it's important to know whether it's poop or pee. Both aren't good, but a wet bum from poop usually indicates a problem with the diet. A wet bum from pee could just need some adjustments in litter tray set up. Pee is a problem because it can lead to irritation if the fur is constantly wet from it and the rabbit can develop sore hocks.
