I don't know where or how it happened, but, Bunny came up on the front porch a hour ago raising a ruckus. Go outside to see what is the matter and she has one of those sticky fly tapes stuck to her. Started at her vent area, went under a wing and ended at her chest. I removed it and she immediately flew to the sawdust pile to start dust bathing. I'm going to check her over in a little bit to see if I'm going to have to bath her to get the residue off. If I do I'm assuming the best thing to use would be dawn dishwashing liquid and warm water.

Happy Monday!

@RoyalChick what happened with the fledgeling? Or didn’t you see it again after they disappeared into the forest?

Poor bunny! Is she OK?

I wouldn't use washing up liquid but that's just me, rescuers have with sea life.

I hope @Shadach drops in, maybe he will know. As it's sticky I'm at a loss for ideas.

Haven't seen it again. Lots of adults around and nobody seems too disturbed. So maybe it got taken in the night or perhaps it is safely back in the care of its parents.
The first is probably more likely but I am firmly holding on to the second answer.
It was able to run surprisingly fast when it went to hide in the woods.

After a hour of furious dust bathing, she'd managed to get everything off except for her vent area so she got a butt bath. She was NOT happy with that but hopefully she learned her lesson about fly traps. I still do not know where she managed to get tangled up in one at though. The thing was covered in flies so miss pig probably was trying to eat them off of it to get herself tangled up.
