        Armadillo got out and got stuck in one of those glue mouse traps, I found him and quickly washed him and removed the pad that was stuck onto him. Now his abck feet,bottom, and tail are all sticky and won’t come off. He’s also trembling really badly now. What should I do? i left him by my heaterr to warm him up

          Can you VERY carefully trim the sticky tips off his fur with scissors? Preferably those “safety” scissors they use for dogs.

            Whatever you can’t trim, I would try some mineral oil. That’s bunny safe and should help some.

              His fur is reallu short and it’s all clumped together. I rubbed some olive oil through his fur and now the glue is falling out. He’s drying himself now, he’s afraid of the sound from the blowdryer, so I’m wiping him with a dry T-Shirt

                Do you have any microfiber towels? That would dry him faster than t-shirts.

                    I dried him but his fur is still oily and sticky. Especially his tail, it’s all sticky and he wont let me touch it

                      Either you let it be, he’ll clean himself and olive oil isn’t toxic (although any type of oil in large amounts is of course bad for a bunny). Or you give him a butt-bath with lukewarm water a little bit of mild, preferably organic, soap. The most important thing is to dry him afterwards so he doesn’t get cold. The fur on the butt is thick and slow to dry and it’s not good for a bunny to have a wet butt all day long.

                        What about corn starch and a comb?

                          Yes, that’s a great idea, corn-starch and a comb! You let the cornstarch absorb the oil and then you comb/brush it all out. Didn’t think of that! Much less stressful for the bun than a butt-bath.
