How do you bathe a rabbit?

Question

I have a bunny thats about two months and I know that they bathe themselves but it just looks so much fun to give them a little bath so yea..thanks for helping! :)

Answer 1

You never bathe a rabbit except for EXTREME conditions.  Getting wet makes it possible they could get "fly strike" (google it) and other problems. i would suggest not to bathe.  

Answer 2

It isn't that fun for the rabbit. They don't like being wet.  

Answer 3

i personally don't think you shoud bathe them

unless there realllllllllly dirty

but if your gonna bathe them, get a bowk/tub and fill it until it reaches like hardly a centimeter of it's foot..

Yeah

That's pretty much it

Do not ever put in water all of a sudden, it will die from shock, cold, whatever so just let it bathe by-itself and it it doesn't wanna, let it be

Answer 4

No! You should never bathe a rabbit, it'll will put them in shock if you don't  know what you are doing. Rabbits bath themselves.  

Answer 5

DONT BATHE IT!! i could get ill/die

if u really need to clean it then get like cotton wool or somethin and wet it a bit and then run it through its hair

if u need any help at all, feel free to send me a message :)

btw even if it licks itself, get a grooming brush to take the hair that falls out but doesnt come out coz it can choke on it

Answer 6

hello there

NO.don't bathe your rabbit.as you said,rabbits clean themselves in a daily basis so bathing a rabbit is not really necessary.plus,if you bathe your rabbit,it might catch cold and eventually die.

no matter how much "fun" you think it is,never bathe your rabbit.you can bathe them only if it is advised by the vet.certain illnesses on rabbits need requires the bathing of the rabbit but unless your rabbits is seriously sick,you mustn't bathe it.

best wishes!

Answer 7

you don't really need to worry about it, because it can clean itself. but if u really want to clean it, then get a small tub, put some warm water in it (but not too warm, because the bunny probably will burn itself in hot water). probably fill the tub about half-way, depending on the size. make sure that the rabbit can stand up in it so it doesn't drown. wash with animal shampoo if you REALLY want to, but there's not really a need. just scrub with the water and your hands. use a towel to dry it, but don't be too rough, becuase that can hurt the bunny.

happy cleaning! :)

Answer 8

Um, no.

They bathe themselves.

Unless they're soaked in dirt or overweight or ill, rabbits should not be bathed.

It's not healthy for them to get wet- they can have trouble drying, can get ear infections, fungal infections- etc. etc.

So as 'fun' as it is to bathe an animal, don't do it.

Answer 10

You probably don't.  I have never heard of a rabbit voluntarily entering water.
