When immersed in water a rabbit can go into shock and die very easily. Gently brush out the area that has poop stuck to it. Brush his whole body with a soft bristle brush. Use a pet wipe or damp cloth to clean any dirt. Cleaning the cage 2 or 3 times a week can also help.Rabbits generally are very good at grooming themselves. If they cannot groom, there is a reason for it. Some of the problems include being overweight and poor diet. The solution is simple for both problems: limit pellets and treats, increase hay, and give him more exercises. Make sure the hay is timothy and the pellets are timothy bases with protein below 16% and fibre above 18%. If any problems persist, a visit to a rabbit savvy vet may be in order. Our rabbit Daisy gets clumps stuck to her rear end, usually as a result of not getting enough roughage in her diet. Keeping the hay always available seems to minimize it. Anyways I've read that you shouldn't bathe your rabbit so we don't. Instead I wrap her up in a large bath towel and lay her on her back in my lap. If she's on her back and her head is covered she won't squirm. I then take a dampened warm terry cloth towel and rub her tail end so the clump lets loose of her hair. Usually I have to use a pair of scissors to CAREFULLY cut it loose. Then take the damp clothe and finish cleaning up her tail end. I like to finish with a little bit of cornstarch, it helps to dry her tail end. Then lots of loving and let her run around the house for a while. Cheers!

What can you do if your bunny has loose poo?

If your infant bunny has diarrhea, you should bring her to a vet immediately. If your usual "rabbit-savvy" vet is unavailable, any vet is better than none. This is an emergency!If your bunny is not an infant, and loose poo is the only symptom of ill-health, the situation is serious but not necessarily an emergency (yet). Your rabbit is probably in cecal dysbiosis. (Rabbits don't usually suffer from loose poo; what looks like loose poo is probably unformed cecotropes.) Cecal dysbiosis is often the result of a diet too low in fibre. Fix your rabbit's diet (cut down on pellets and greens, completely eliminate all other fruits/veg for now, and really encourage hay), and hopefully her droppings will return to normal. However, if the loose poo doesn't go away after one or two days, or if you notice any other signs of ill-health in your bunny, your rabbit should see her usual "rabbit-savvy" vet immediately. Bring fresh samples of your rabbit's poo to the appointment so your vet can examine it.See the related questions below for more info about a healthy rabbit diet and about what to do when your rabbit is ill.

How do you retrain a rabbit to use litter box?

Rabbits can be taught, re-taught to use a litter box, rabbits normally use one corner of their hutch/cage to poo in, if you get a litter box, and put some saw dust ectra in it, then get plenty of the rabbits poo and put it in the litter tray in the corner that the rabbit poos in, the rabbit should start to use the litter box and after a few weeks of the rabbit using the tray you should be able to move the litter tray to where you want and the rabbit will continue to use it.
