You wash the fecal matter off the rabbit's butt, you may have to let it soak, then trim the fur and get rid of the maggots and infection caused by them. You may need to use hydrogen peroxide and Neosporin ointment to combat the infection. Hopefully the maggots have not began to eat on the rabbit's flesh. Clean their cage and disinfect it. Prevent the buildup from happening again by increasing their roughage like adding straw or hay to their diet.

This happens a lot in the breeds that have wool (ie: angoras, fuzzy lops) but can occur in the other breeds. The main cause is a dirty cage, although it can start with loose stools. The soft morning stool needs to be able to fall thru the wire if your rabbit is not re ingesting it. A dirty setting board is also a likely culprit. Setting boards should be cleaned and disinfected weekly just like water dishes and feeders are. If there is no wound on the rabbit, the maggots show up after a fly has layed eggs in the built up fecal matter. If they have hatched out it means that your bunny has had a dirty butt for more than a week. More fiber will help but probably not be much help if the cage is dirty and not cleaned weekly.

By keeping flies out of it's cage or away from it's bowl. I recommend getting one of those sticky fly traps to hang from the ceiling. Just make sure you don't hang it in the cage and it's out of reach of the rabbit.
