Rabbit help plz
I have a rabbit and I keep its cage clean, and give it fresh food and water every day. I noticed that there is poo sticking to her anal area, and she has reddish-orange urine. Can somebody please help me to solve the problem? I would really appreciate it.
Answers:How is your bunny doing today? I don't have personal experience with bathing a rabbit, but here is a site that lists some helpful links:

Be gentle, as bathing can be very stressful for a rabbit. It isn't normal for a rabbit to have a dirty bottom like that. Take your bunny to the vet or at least talk to your vet about what's going on and how to remedy this.
Reddish-orange urine is actually normal, depending on what you've been feeding your rabbit. Make sure that your rabbit has UNLIMITED access to Timothy hay and water.

What type of food are you feeding it? Try to feed it more dry food; stay away from feeding it lettuce or other wet foods. Rabbits, however, have reddish-orange urine.
well its normal for poop to stick to her but if it is a female maybe she is having a period if not hurry up and go to the vet.
Yes, first make sure it isn`t eating lettuce. Also, too much fruit can cause diarrhea. Rabbits need to eat LOTS of hay every day. (Oat, Timothy,Bermuda Grass- not Alfalfa hay.)The hay gives them roughage they need and digestds their food. Their droppings should be dry-crumble when you squeeze them. They should eat a mix of pellets and fresh greeens(parsley,turnip greens,mustard greens,cilantro,etc.) daily with all the hay they can eat.
