Question

Help answer this question below.

I read online that you have to help a baby rabbit use the bathroom after you feed it. It had directions, but my bunny hasn't went. He squirms around as I go through the procedure which makes me wonder if I am doing something wrong?

Your procedure is almost correct. Using warm water dampen the cloth enough to where it is not dripping but will leave the fur wet. Don't go as high as the front legs, from mid-belly push in a little and work your way down as you described. Yes, your bunny can get sick and have kidney problems if he doesn't go. If this lasts longer than three days, then you need to see a vet. Are you absolutely sure that your bunny hasn't gone while you weren't looking? And how old is it? That would help me better give you a heads up on more info.

- I'm not absolutely sure it hasn't went, but it is only about a week old. It's eyes and ears are still closed.

I'm really really really curious of what it is that you are doing. But I doubt it's a very strict rule... He might be a little constipated, but I doubt it could be life-threatening.

- It said to take a warm, damp cotton ball and run it from between the front legs all the way down over the anal area until the rabbit uses the bathroom. So far, no result. It said if you didn't, the rabbit would die.I have to leave for school in an hour, so I'm getting kinda nervous...

- My sister never did that, and her bunny is nearly a year old... But I'm willing to trust your source. I'd say don't overdo it. Do it once, and let the rabbit sit and rest for three or four minutes, and the water on his belly dry so he can feel it next time you wipe.

- Doesn't the rabbit have a mum around?

- I don't know how to find her. We turned the soil in our garden and found the rabbit in the middle of it all alone the next day. We think we may have tilled over the nest because the bunny is too young to have wandered away on it's own.
