Dirty Feet!

[Hyatt101]

Ugh, so my baby bunnies aren't very careful about where they step and now they have walked over their poop and have dirty feet! it bugs me because my hands and clothes get all dirty when i hold them:rollseyes
What should i do? Generally, i clean out the cage and just wait till it wears off, but is there a quicker way???

If it's still pretty fresh, have you tried soap and water on their feet?

I haven't, if the stuff's from yesterday and its still on pretty good, then i will try to wash their feet.

Rabbits shouldn't be sitting directly on their waste. With a litter of babies together, a solid bottom cage needs to be scooped daily. Otherwise, housing them on wire keeps the rabbits clean and healthy. Prevention is really the best way to avoid dirty rabbits.

After the housing situation is fixed up, I would fill the sink with a tiny bit of water and wash just their feet with a mild soap and water.
