Wet Fur

Question
Recently i found the fur in my bunny's inner thigh was wet and sticky for weeks. When I tried to flip it and check, he cried out and ran away.  

Answer
Dear Jojo,

When you handle your bunny, you must be sure to do so in a way that is not threatening or frightening to the bunny.  Please see:

for a full description, with pictures, of how to safely and properly pick up your bunny.

The wet fur could be due to any of several things.  If the bunny is an unspayed female, she could be having a uterine problem, and should be spayed.  Please see:

It also could be leakage from a urinary tract problem:

or could be messy poop due to cecal dysbiosis:

Any of these problems will require the help of a good rabbit vet, whom you can find here:

I hope this helps.
