Answer 1

We groom our show rabbits several times a week during the show season. As for the bath part, we use either the towelettes that are made for cats, or the dry shampoo spray made for dogs and cats, and we do that the day of the shows. You can buy either at any discount store, pet shop, or vet's office. Otherwise, you really don't need to bathe bunnies, they keep themselves pretty clean.

Answer 2

Rabbits are very meticulous about cleaning themselves. As a result it is generally not necessary to give them a bath. In fact it can be rather dangerous to bath them. Once they are wet they become very susceptible to becoming ill.

Occasionally they may get a messy bottom, which they will not be able to clean. At that point we will run water on the area to help us clean them. But that is only in rare instances.

Good luck with your bunny, and its actually a blessing that you dont have to give them a bath!

Answer 3

This is a really cute question....I don't think you're suppose to wash bunny's.

Rabbits are typically fastidiously clean animals, and spend a good deal of time grooming themselves. While this means they usually do not need baths, regular brushing helps keep their coat in good condition and help prevents hairballs

Answer 4

Bunnies groom themselves like cats. As long as you give them a brushing to remove loose fur, and keep their cage clean, there really is no need to bathe them.

In the off chance they get REALLY dirty, use a damp washcloth with a drop of castille soap or baby soap.

Don't immerse them in water. They can swim, but they are more likely to freak out. They also take forever to dry, and can get sick from being wet.

Answer 5

Don't bathe her at all she is a rabbit and rabbits don't take bathes. But if you are determined to do it do not do more than once or twice a year as when you bathe it you wash all of the oils out of its fur and skin which protect it from getting sick.

Answer 6

most rabbits do a great job of cleaning themselves.

if yours gets into something dirty or harmful, get about 2 inches of room temperature water in the base of the sink, along with dog soap or VERY mild shampoo/hand soap. then, dry your bunny with towels. some people use hairdryers, but I find it really hard to control the temperature of most of them to keep it safe.

my rabbit is very clean, but sometimes will jump around in some dirt and get gross feet. i let him stand in a little water in the sink or tub and splah around a bit, which gets most of it off. then I will wrap him in a towel and sit with him and feet him a carrot while he dries off.

Answer 7

you don't need to bather bunnies because they clean themselves how ever once every couple of months i bather mine.I out her in the sink in about 2 inchs of water and wash her with dog soap.then i dry her with a blow drier on cool but make sure it doesnt get too hot and burn the skin.Then i brush her

best of luck!!

Answer 8

I think you only bath them when they are dirty but i know you must brush them at least every few days.

Answer 9

Wot?!!! No they clean themselves. They actually clean themselves more than cats, if the cage is smelly clean it but please dont bath your rabbit!!!!!

Answer 10

once a month sounds about right
