This evening Toffee's bum check has shown an icky mucky bum. Well, just under her left back leg.

It's one of my worst nightmares, needing to give my 2 bum baths. Luckily Ted is the difficult one, toffee isn't generally too bad.

OH isn't confident handling the bunnies, so I think this could be very tricky. I have nothing that I'm confident is mild enough to put in the water. Do you think just plain water will do the job well enough?

Really dreading this.

I think a tiny amount of gentle hand soap is ok or baby shampoo.

As long as you rinse thoroughly.

Thanks. We managed, but just with water for now. It has helped. Tomorrow I'll go and get some pet shampoo or something and we'll have another go.

How did he get on love? I place Binky on a non sllp table on wheels and put him in the shower. It works really well because I am then sure I have removed all the soap. Needless to say, Binky is not impressed LOL!!
