Healthy rabbits keep themselves clean and do not need baths. If your 9-week old rabbit (or any age of rabbit) needs a bath, something is wrong and the rabbit might need to see a vet. Baths can be dangerous for rabbits, so if you need to give one, you must follow certain procedures to ensure the rabbit stays safe. See the related question below for details and links -- it applies to 9-month old rabbits as well as all ages of rabbits.

no it is not safe you can start bathing a bunny when its about 7 weeks and you shouldn't really bath bunnies only when their REALLY dirty and make sure you dont hold the babies until they are a week old and because when the mum smells them she wont think its her baby so she will abandon it so if you need to rub you hands on the mum bunny and hold them so the mum still knows its here baby!

No! Bunnies are like cats; they don't need baths. They clean themselves.

Why can't you give a bunny a bath?

You can't give a bunny a bath because:It's not necessary, andIt's dangerousHealthy bunnies clean themselves, so you shouldn't bathe them: there's zero benefits, and plenty of risks.If the rabbit is messy, something is wrong: either you need to do better "bunny-proofing" so the rabbit stays out of messy areas, or your rabbit is sick and needs to see a vet.If you need to bathe a messy bunny, first try a "dry bath" with baby cornstarch powder (no talc!), because this is the safest method. The second-safest method is a wet "spot bath." If you need to do a full-on bath, make sure you take certain precautions to keep the rabbit safe.
