Answer #1

clean the cage. Also, sometimes you can train them to poop in a corner thingy. You can get them at any pet store. It just goes in the corner, they poop in it and then u dumb it out

Answer #2

i had a rabbit and i loved and first off DONT SHAVE HIM… he is not a dog… go to the vet that takes rabbits… also u probabley have to clean his cage more but u should probabley have that looked at because rabbits clean themselves so something might be wrong

Answer #3

I would groom him like someone would do a dog. shave the extra hair around that area so there is no chance of it getting matted. I have five pekingese and I shave there butts so that doesn’t happen.

Answer #4

i dont know my guess is that you should clean his cage more often so there wont be any poop for him to sit on
