julia55 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 This may be better posted on the clinic site but..... One of my ex batts has quite a bald bum, which isn't really a problem - the problem is that where she isn't bald she has matted poo which the other batts keenly peck at. I've had her a week now and although they are still quite timid do you think I should give her bum a wash using warm water or just leave it to eventually all fall off. I don't want to frighten her to death....any advice please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I can't see how a little wash would harm her...... If the others are pecking her bum I'd spray it with purple spray.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I would wash her bum in some warm water and just a drop of ecover washing up liquid. Leave her to dry her knickers in the sun or blast her rear with a hairdryer from a distance - she will love this, mine do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I've moved the thread to clinic for you Julia. She probably would feel better for a bum wash, I wouldn't go too over the top just a wet sponge and a wipe over and towel dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
