Yes rabbits can swim in-fact they are really rather proficient at it. I would not however recommend allowing a rabbit to swim in a pool with chlorine as rabbits are FAR more sensitive to products than humans are so a safe level of chlorine for a human would not be safe for a rabbit. This fact that they are more sensitive is one major reason rabbits are/were used in animal testing for products used on humans such as cosmetics, lotions, shampoos etc. because if a product will not irritate the rabbit it is unlikely to do so on a human. I had a rabbit when I was young that really enjoyed a nice summer swim in our kiddy pool when the weather was hot. However one must also keep in mind that rabbits panic easily so if they are unable to get out of the water they may panic and drown. They also are more susceptible to climate shock than many other animals so care must be taken that the rabbit not over heat itself or become chilled do to the swim.

Can Rabbits Swim

Yup. Most rabbits dislike being in water though.


Ever heard of the "killer" rabbit Jimmy Carter fought off while he was fishing?
