Sticky babies!! Help!

[[email protected]]

My kits are now about 4 weeks old, everything had been fine until recently, and now they have sticky fur! It's almost as if the mom has sprayed them. They have been taking dust baths, but that does not appear to be helping because of the sticky mess. Would it be okay for me to wash them with a wet cloth, and of course dry them VERY well? I just dont want to hurt them.

You can use some human baby wipes but I would not use a wet cloth.

unscented baby wipes would be the best thing to use.

How are they getting sticky? I have never had kits get sticky. That is something to look into. I agree unscented baby wipes can do wonders
