Hi lily, I had a pet rabbit and as he got older he just couldn't clean himself, as the weather got warmer I had to clean him regularly, we went on holiday and left him with our neighbours, when we got back we found they hadn't cleaned him and to my shock he had fly strike, I sat with him for hours pulling out the maggots (it was night time) I managed to remove them all, I then cleansed him with salt water as he was sore, I then took him to the vets, they checked him over and said that my rabbit was lucky as I'd managed to remove all the maggots and they prescribed some cream, it quickly became apparent that he was incontinent and was just sitting in his urine and poop, we had to make the heartbreaking decision of putting him to sleep as it was revealed his kidneys were failing, which meant he was at risk of fly strike and dying a sad death, he was 9, and like yours was a free range bunny who lived in his own play house, I would just keep an eye on your bunny, but as the weather gets warmer she will need daily cleaning, and thorough drying to prevent fly strike, you can get her treated with a treatment that prevents fly strike, I loved my Bilbo bunnykins, and know I did my best for him, people think bunny's are easy but as they get older they require more time and more looking after, good luck with your bunny, and some Bunny's just can't be bothered to clean themselves! You know your bunny, this is just my experience, hope I've helped:-)
