If a rabbit's head gets wet, it could get an ear infection.

Baths are not usually necessary for rabbits. Healthy rabbits bathe themselves, and as a matter of course you should keep them away from very messy areas. If your rabbit is messy, something is wrong! Baths can be very dangerous for rabbits, whether their head stays dry or not. See the related question below for details and links.

Is it ok to bathe your cats?

It is perfectly okay to bathe your cats. The only problem is, cats hate water, the cat will not like the bath, and whatever you do, don't put water on your cat's head/face. Also do not submerge your cat in water.


Do rabbits come out at night?

No, a healthy animal such as a rabbit should never take a bath. You shouldn't need to bathe your rabbit. Healthy rabbits groom themselves. Rabbits clean themselves the same way cats do, by licking themselves. If a rabbit is molting, it should be brushed daily to make sure it doesn't swallow too much fur, as they can't digest it and this can lead to serious illness.Sometimes rabbits do need a bath, but if your rabbit does need a bath, that means something is wrong and you should consult a rabbit-savvy vet about it!Bathe rabbits VERY carefully, because there are many risks and it can be very dangerous for the rabbit! Do research first about how to bathe the rabbit: there are many resources online that can help you: see the question below for details and links.More AnswersOne Contributor Wrote: You can buy a grooming spray to give them a "bath."Another Wrote in Response: Grooming sprays like this can be very dangerous for rabbits: they can harm the rabbit's sensitive skin, or by licking its fur the rabbit can be poisoned. Do not use any commercial products on your rabbit unless a rabbit expert or rabbit-savvy vet has said it's good.More Answers:You can give a rabbit a bath, however, it is not as healthy for the animal because the water washes away oils that keep the rabbit's skin clean. Rabbits don't need a bath because they clean themselves and if your rabbit has not very clean feet then you can was the feet but they normally clean there feet so you shouldn't need to clean then.No. Rabbits do not need baths and generally find them very stressful.If absolutely necessary, it is better to just do a "spot cleaning" of the area that is dirty rather than subjecting a rabbit to the stress of bathing.If it is absolutely necessary to bathe your rabbit, keep in mind that it takes rabbit fur a long time to dry, and in cold/windy weather they may catch hypothermia. In that case, it is a good idea to use a blow dryer (on a warm, never hot, setting) to speed the process. Rabbits are prone to overheating, so be cautious; you also want to avoid burning the skin. If the weather is warm and you can keep your rabbit away from drafts, let the rabbit air-dry instead.There are many other risks associated with bathing your rabbit. It is best to avoid baths if possible.
