My buck keeps spray peeing into the next door cage onto my doe. She has turned yellow! How do I wash her? I know that rabbits are like cats in that they hate water, who has suggestions?

Pee shield. MUCH easier than a bunny bath.

um....very carefully? :hiding:
No, I am just kidding! :lol: Best thing is to spritz them with water/vinegar and rub baking soda into the stained fur. Let it dry then brush it out. That should remove MOST of it...

cornstarch will work wonders as well. But move the buck to an end cage, put a divider in.

He actually is on the end cage with a divider between them which is framed 1/4 hardware cloth. What should I make a new divider out of or maybe just the bottom half of it?
Also do I use the cornstarch the way OneAcreFarm suggested like the baking soda?

Some people use plexiglass. I myself use galvanized sheet metal for dividers. You can purchase precut dividers from several suppliers. I myself just by full 4'x 8' sheets from a local HVAC supplier and then cut it up with a pair of tin snips.

The baking soda didn't work quite as well as the cornstarch, but I'm not sure if the powder is acting more like a makeup on the fur so is more obscuring the yellowish color than removing it. It definitely didn't remove all of the yellow but it does seem lighter. She is such a good bunny, just sat on my lap and let me do my thing spraying and rubbing with my hands, a towel, a brush, more spray, different spray, more rubbing in of powder... Then she was rewarded with a carrot.
