Bunny Bath

I read on the internet that rabbits. clean themselves on their own and therefore should not be given baths, but my rabbits too have got pretty dirty, how do u bathe them? caz i cannot get my rabbits to go into the water, and there feet have got pretty dirty

hmmm...I have had my rabbit for 5 years and never given him a bath ,most rabbits are very clean.Bathing can be very stressful and should be avoided if possible(likely to jump out of the water)How about a wet soft towel to clean your bun?

If your rabbit is getting dirty and stinky, I'd really recommend seeing a vet because it's quite possible it has a health problem. Rabbits are naturally clean animals that should not need to be bathed. I've only ever had one rabbit I had to bathe. His hind legs were paralyzed so when he urinated, he soaked himself. I only bathed his back end but had to do so daily. I use water and a gentle oatmeal shampoo, and later, Episoothe by Virbac (good to use if you have to bathe frequently since it doesn't dry their skin). He eventually left to another foster home and I'm pretty sure he was probably euthanized eventually. He was a very happy rabbit, but had too many health problems unfortunately. My 10 year old rabbit is starting to get arthritis and has occasionally not got up high enough to pee and shot himself in the leg. I use those cat bath wipes to clean him so far. I would really look into the ingredients before you use something like a powdered shampoo, since rabbits normally lick themselves clean. They're a lot like cats. You shouldn't have to bathe them.

i never bathe my rabbits, but they bathe themselves and each other all the time.
