Why is matted fur stuck on the bottom of the hutch bad for bunnies?

Clean the hutch more often. Scoop out soiled litter and any messes every day or two. Wash the cage entirely twice a year or more often, if necessary. By "if necessary," that means looking at the cage and deciding if it's gross and dirty and needs cleaning.Brush the rabbit more often. Rabbits moult a few times a year, and then you have to brush it. If you have a long-haired rabbit, it may need daily brushing. If you don't brush the rabbit when it's moulting, it could ingest too much fur - like cats, rabbits lick themselves clean, so they can get furballs; however, unlike cats, rabbits can't vomit, so a big furball can be deadly. Also, the fur will get all over the place and make a mess of the hutch.Ask yourself: is the hutch big enough? A rabbit needs room to hop and jump and stretch out. The hutch should include some toys or play structures, and a litter box. Using a litter box is a good way to keep the hutch clean. If the rabbit feels cramped, it won't groom itself properly, and you'll end up with matted fur (and a bored rabbit!).See the related questions below for more info, and links.
