How do you clean a rabbit that sleeps in her poop?

Answer 1

Healthy rabbit poo is solid and doesn't stain or make anything dirty, even when the rabbit sleeps in it.

If your rabbit is dirty from sleeping in her poo, then your rabbit is sick. You should find out why her poop is so soft and messy, and fix the problem.

Most likely, you aren't feeding your rabbit the right diet. Research rabbit care (see the related questions below), and very gradually fix your rabbit's diet.

It's important to make dietary changes gradually because sudden changes, even ones for the better, can make a rabbit sick. (The exception is hay. If your bunny doesn't eat much hay, work on that immediately: no amount of hay is too much for a rabbit.)

If you are certain your rabbit is eating the right diet, then bring her to a vet immediately so you can find out what's wrong.

Either way (no matter what), if your rabbit's messy poo doesn't clear up soon, bring her to a vet because your rabbit is sick, and the longer this goes on, the higher risk of severe illness.

If your rabbit is messy, you should clean her, but you must be very careful. Research how to safely wash rabbits, because baths can be very dangerous for rabbits. (See the related question below for details and links.)
