If a healthy rabbit gets wet, it can get sick if:
Unhealthy rabbits are even more susceptible to these things.
Rabbits can die from getting wet, but getting wet won't necessarily kill your rabbit. Rabbit fur can take a long time to dry, and if the weather is cold, or cool and breezy, the rabbit can get hypothermia. Another way the rabbit can die is if the rabbit was traumatized -- if the rabbit just got wet by brushing up against something wet, the rabbit will probably be fine, but if it happened in a stressful and frightening way (from the rabbit's point of view), then this could lead to complications and eventually even death. Some people give their pet rabbits baths, so getting wet in and of itself doesn't kill the rabbit; on the other hand, healthy rabbits don't need baths because they clean themselves, so if the rabbit is dirty, something is wrong and it should probably see the vet to find out why. If the rabbit does need a bath, special precautions must be taken to keep the rabbit safe. If your rabbit gets wet, for whatever reason, keep a close eye on the rabbit for the next few days and bring it to the vet if you notice signs of illness or injury coming on. See the related questions below for details and helpful links.
Yes, a rabbit can die from getting wet. If your rabbit got wet, keep it warm and away from drafts, try to calm and relax the rabbit, and keep an eye out for signs of illness and be ready to bring the rabbit to a vet, if necessary. See the related links below for more information and helpful links.
Ways getting wet could kill a rabbit include:
Wet fur on a cold day, or even on a cool but breezy day, can lead to hypothermia and death.
Rabbits are susceptible to shock and stress, and if the stress is bad enough they can die from a heart attack, so getting wet could shock them and cause them to die.
Water in the ears can lead to infection - this alone won't kill the rabbit but if it isn't treated by a vet, it will only get worse and worse and the rabbit will eventually die from general ill-health.
I think you are aloud to because if they were wild, they would hop in wet grass in the morning. If you are going to bathe it, it would be alright. Just don't soak it on purpose or it will get sick. If you are to bathe it, bathe it in warm water, not too cold or too hot. Hope I helped you!
There is no reason to bathe your bunny unless they get diarrhea or fall into something nasty. You can bathe them with mild (baby shampoo) and dry them thoroughly. A hair dryer on cool is excellent if they will let you use it. Keep them inside until they are completely dry.
Bunnies don't necessarily die from having a bath, but yes they CAN die, for a few different reasons:
Rabbits are clean animals and don't need baths. It's important to groom them regularly, but you shouldn't bathe them. See the related link below about grooming.
If your rabbit is dirty and needs a bath, that means something is wrong. Maybe the cage is too small, or too dirty; maybe the rabbit isn't eating the right diet; or maybe the rabbit is sick. You should read about rabbit care, behaviour, and health, and probably take the rabbit to a vet. See the related questions below for more info.
If you have to give your rabbit a bath, you should follow specific safety precautions to keep your rabbit safe. Ideally, do a "dry bath" or "spot bath," not a full wet bath. See the related question below about baths for details.
no, they are hydrophobic!
It's not a good idea to get a rabbit wet because the rabbit won't like it, and the rabbit could catch hypothermia.
You shouldn't do things to your rabbit that he doesn't like (unless it's for his own good, like a physical exam, nail clipping, etc.) because this adds to his stress levels. Stress in all animals leads to a low quality of life and even illness; rabbits are particularly susceptible to stress because they're prey animals.
Healthy, normal rabbits don't need baths. Rabbits groom themselves. If your rabbit needs a bath, something is wrong. You should deal with the cause, which might require a trip to the vet.
Baths can be dangerous for rabbits. If you must bathe your bunny, make sure you follow certain precautions to keep him safe.

Do not give your rabbit a bath. Like cats they clean themselves. Getting them wet will just stress them out. If they got into something dirty just use a wet rag to spot wipe them.
Yes! But it will get rather wet though! 🐰🐰
The verb in the sentence, 'munched' is a transitive verb, a verb that takes an object.An intransitive verb requires no object, for example: The rabbit munched the lettuce and slept. (no object required for the verb 'slept')The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object is a form of the subject (The rabbit is white. rabbit=white); or the subject becomes the object (The rabbit got wet. rabbit->wet).The rabbit is not and does not become the lettuce.
Cause hes horny
Rabbits do occasionally get wet i a rabbit pet owner myself have gotten my rabbit wet but she is still fine dry the rabbit as quickly as you can with a hair dryer or something else not to hot.
you sit the rabbit facing you wet your hands and rub both hands from neck to butt this will clean it but also help take off extra fur, try and do this out side so you can rub your hands together to take the hair off it and just keep doing this till its all clean, the rabbit will get a little wet but not much.
They get really scared and kick the crap out of you! Sorry, last time I bathed my rabbit I used dawn because I didn't know how his skin would react to my shampoo. It didn't help the smell though, wet rabbit is worse than wet dog.
When your rabbit is sad or unhappy, it might not even be your fault but it is your rabbit so it is your job to make it happy again. My rabbit once jumped out of my arms into a bush but just sat there when a big wet dirty golden retriever was chasing it. It depends how long you have had you rabbit.If you got your rabbit a few months ago then I guess it is probably just rabbit puberty.
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.
Depends, is there a rabbit nearby? Are you willing to eat it? Ok, firstly you need to skin the rabbit, and cover your WiFi in the dead skin. Then. My good friend. Lick it. The wet rabbit fur gives it DHCP power, hope this helps. -Mr.Mit Dravah.
She's probably just drying it. Why else would she build a nest from her own fur? To check for babies you can gently feel the rabbit's stomach for lumps.
NO. You shouldn't have to bathe a rabbit. Rabbits groom themselves. It isn't very good for the rabbit to bathe them: they can get injured or sick. It's better if you let a rabbit be a rabbit :) If there is something wrong and your rabbit does need a bath, there are careful precautions you have to take. There's a lot of websites online that can help you - refer to Related Questions below for more info.
