i have 2 rabbits at my place which is the best shampoo recommended to keep their hair clean and white ?

Answer 1

maybe you should ask a vet or just wash them with water.

Answer 2

Although some bunnies grow up swimming in the family pool and going on camping trips where they paddle around in the lake, most rabbits are not used to this routine and would find even an occasional bath quite stressful. NEVER-unless your veterinarian advises it to bring down a fever-should you give a sick rabbit a bath. Because seemingly healthy rabbits can have undiagnosed problems, it's best not to subject them to the stress of a bath. If your rabbit is very badly infested with fleas, there's a good chance that he is already compromised and may go into shock when bathed. Also, a thoroughly wet rabbit takes a very long time to dry, so spot cleaning the dirty area is better than an overall bath. Normal rabbit body temperature is 102. Since they are subject to heat stress, use a warm dryer, not hot

Any product "OK" to use on a kitten is "OK" to use on a rabbit."

This statement is made most often in regards to shampoos and flea products. Although kittens are delicate and most of the products approved for use on a kitten would be safe for any animal, there are some notable exceptions. The citric insecticides, especially the insecticide "Linalool," are very safe when used on dogs or cats, but highly toxic to rabbits. The spot-on flea and tick product "FRONTLINE" is also toxic to rabbits.

Answer 3

Don't bathe your rabbit. It is not good for them. Rabbits are like cats. They are not meant to be bathed. For one thing, bathing them can make them more susceptible to pneumonia. For a second reason, bathing them in water can take the oil out of their fur, which is not good for their fur. Brushing your rabbits is also not good for your rabbit unless your rabbit is a wool breed. Brushing the rabbit's coat causes the hair follicles to break.

If you want to groom your rabbit, here are some good instructions:

Get a carpet sample pad from a carpet store. Place your rabbit on the pad. Grab a small bowl and fill it half full of water. Barely dip one hand in the water and rub your hands together so that both hands are lightly wet. Run your hands from the back of the neck of the rabbit to the rump of the rabbit. The loose hair will stick to your hands and the rest will stick to the carpet pad. Your goal is to remove the loose hair and not damage the hair follicles that aren't loose. If the fur looks wet, you are either using too much water on your hands or you are brushing them for too long. Every so often you may want to run your hands from the rump to the neck to help get out some of the loose hairs, but you don't want to do that too much because you have more of a tendency to break hair follicles that way.

This is the same technique that I and many other rabbit professionals use to groom their rabbits. If you go to a rabbit show, you will see people all over the show arena groomming their rabbits in this fashion.

If the rabbit, has a stain on it's fur you can use white vinegar to help remove the stain. (Peroxide can be used on white rabbits, but if too much is used a pinkish tint can occur on the fur). Rub a cloth lightly soaked in white vinegar over the stain then follow up with a cloth lightly soaked in water to help rinse the vinegar out. Aftwards dry the the fur with a dry cloth. The process may need repeated several times to completely remove the stain.

I have been raising and showing rabbits professionally for 24 years.
