2) Snip the hair with scissors...

"XD"

Answer 2

Is he neutered?

What kind of litter is in his litter box? Is he fed hay?

Answer 3

If he was being fed the correct food his f***s would not be soft and stick to him. Are you feeding him alot of vegetables and fruit? If so you need to cut down on these and give him more hay and pellets instead.

Fresh foods should be an occasional treat only, maybe once a week.

Rabbits have 2 types of f***s. They have the hard round balls. then they have f***s called "night dropping" or cecopahy. These are very soft, clusters that the rabbit eats directly from itself. These are the undigested viatmins and minerals and rabbits need theses to thrive and live.

The best way to get f***s or diarrhea off of the rabbits is to wash it with a warm.wet soapy wash cloth. Rinse very well with warm water. if there are matts in the fur you can gently pull them off or very carefully use a scissors to remove them. To keep clean wash daily with a baby wipe.

Answer 4

Do NOT cut it off with scissors!  That can cause you to cut your bunny instead and cause some pretty serious lacerations.  Take her to the vet to be checked....rabbit stool should be hard and come out like pellets.  If it is soft your bunny could be sick.  

Answer 5

It's not that bad, but you could give him a bath, in warm water, with a special bunny shampoo, human, even baby shampoo is far to harsh for a bunnie's skin.

But get a washcloth once he's in the water, and gently rub at his bunny Bum, with just the damp washcloth, but if it doesn't come off, then use a very small ammount of the shampoo, make sure you rinse him extremely well, and get all the soap off!

I hope he'll be okay!
