Help! Took my sons show market rabbits to get validated and the person doing the tattoo left poured ink all over the rabbit. What can be done to get him clean?

Tattoo ink generally comes off skin with mild detergent solution and ethanol or rubbing alcohol. You can try giving bunny a bath, but it stains, so fur might be tough, and the ethanol is going to make him cold and make his skin irritated if you overdo it. I might spot test a little Vaseline as oil can break down some inks--then detergent (shampoo) to get the grease off.

Maybe someone else has a magic idea, but I would be more than a little mad, because you may need to wait for it to wear off.

All that said, I have seen rabbits groom ink id marks off in a few days (of course when I didn't want them to!), so if he is friendly with anyone I would put him in a cage with other rabbits and let them go to town.
