I am thinking about bathing my pet rabbit because it recently got a little dirty when it stepped into a bowl of blueberry jam.
At what temperature should I bathe the rabbit? I have read that the body temperature of a rabbit is higher than that of a human's. I guess that means that I should crank the heat higher when I give it a bath, right?
Also, should I give it a shower rather than a bathe? I am thinking about choosing one of these two options:
1. Fill a bathtub to about 5~6 cm height with hot water. Place rabbit into bath and scrub its fur with some shampoo.
2. Place rabbit into dry bathtub, and turn on shower.
Which is better?

If you have to clean it give it a bath. Don't fill it with too much water just enough to cover the paws. MAke sure the water is warm, don't blow dry the bun or put it out in the cold or in front of a fan. http://www.rabbit.org

do not bathe un-inevitably. it would want to be annoying to the rabbit. an same is going with guinea pigs. you need to purchase dry rabbit/guinea pig shampoos from petshops by employing bob martins or johnsons. If a rabbit is ill and is stricken by diahorrea as a results of a substitute i nutrition or incorrect nutrition plan then in basic terms bathe the bottom section.Bathing the entire rabbit is going to reason rigidity even as will reason more effective disillusioned If a rabbit/guinea pig is ill with an unknown clarification for abdomen disillusioned or is dropping fur causing patches or has insects contained in the fur then you actually might want to search for suggestion from a vet. Shampooing on my own received't get rid of ringworm or different pores and skin infections which comprise mites or fleas.different remedy is needed and the vet will lead you to the right remedy.

Not at all. Take a wash cloth and wash the jam off his fur real good. No need to bathe the whole rabbit. You are going to stress him out.

luke wram water that you can touch without hurting you to bath the rabbit - a kitchen sink works good with a sprayer.
Now if you want to eat the bunny - biol the water for 3 minutes than place the rabbit in

don't, they take care of themselves as long as you keep their cage clean, brush them if you want to do something
