Cleaning my Bunny

[CountryBumpkin7]

Hi i tried cleaning my English Lop and she freaked her feet are filthy and yellow and i cant have that for the rabbit shows soo will you please give me advice what to clean her paws with and how to clean her without freaking her out :? thx

What kind of cage/bedding is she on? I've noticed that pee stains are extremely hard to get out, so the best way to get them clean is just to provide a cleaner living environment.

How did you try to clean them before?

Right now we were in a move and she was on newspaper and ik that was bad but that was all we could do and my breeder said baking soda but i just used water cuz i didnt want to take a chance of harming her and i also heard white vinegar is good do u know if that is true

White vinegar is a main-stay in cleaning a rabbit's environment, but I don't think it would remove urine stains. I don't know if baking soda would work, either. I just did an internet search of "baking soda rabbit" & found they really shouldn't ingest much & I don't think it would clean anything unless damp baking soda were left on the fur for some time. How to accomplish that without the rabbit trying to lick it off is a problem. Maybe if you used a cone would do it & even then I don't think it would remove a stain. [It's great for removing baked-on spills in an oven, though.] Lemon juice has mild bleaching properties, so that might help a little.

Alright thank you i will try lemon juice and see how it goes and it shouldnt happen since im doin pine pellets in the bathroom pan so they are not on the bedding
