Healthy rabbits don't need to take baths at all. Rabbits are clean animals: they wash themselves. If your rabbit needs a bath, something is wrong -- maybe his habitat is too dirty, or maybe he's sick and needs a vet. Don't just bathe the rabbit: deal with the cause of the problem, too!

If your rabbit needs a bath, it's best to try the "dry bath" method first, which does not use water. If the dry bath doesn't work, then you can try a spot bath with a wet wash cloth. If that doesn't work, either, then you can try a full bath with water and possibly a gentle and safe shampoo but only VERY CAREFULLY. Baths are dangerous for rabbits, and you could easily injure the rabbit or make it ill if you give it a bath. See the related question below for details.

Can you give a rabbit a bath in water?

It's best not to give rabbits any bath at all. Baths are dangerous for rabbits: they can easily become ill or injured from being given a bath. Also, rabbits are clean animals and they wash themselves: if your rabbit is dirty, something is probably wrong with its health and it should see a vet. If a bath is necessary, it's best to try a "dry bath" first (see related question below for more details). This is the safest for your rabbit. If the dry bath doesn't work, then you can try a wet spot bath with a wash cloth. If the spot bath doesn't work, either, then you can try a full wet bath, but you must be very careful and follow specific procedures to keep the rabbit safe (see related question below). If you do give your rabbit a wet bath, you can try it with just water. If just water cleans the rabbit, great! It's much better to just use water than to use a shampoo or soap. But, if your rabbit is very dirty, it probably needs shampoo. Do NOT use just any shampoo! Most shampoos made for humans, even ones for babies, even some for pets!, are too harsh and can lead to chemical burns or skin irritation. Use a hypoallergenic, non-medicated, natural-ingredients shampoo.


What do you use to give the bunny a bath?

Rabbits shouldn't be bathed unless absolutely necessary. Bathing can be stressful and dangerous for rabbits. Healthy rabbits keep themselves clean, so if your rabbit needs a bath, something is wrong and you probably need to bring the rabbit to a vet. If you do need to give your bunny a bath, take precautions to make sure you keep the rabbit safe. Use luke warm water and a baby bath or sink. If you use shampoo, make sure it's safe. Most shampoos made for babies, cats, dogs, etc. are not safe for rabbits. Even some made for rabbits aren't safe! Look for a hypoallergenic, non-medicated shampoo (even herbs with "natural" healing properties should be avoided); the more organic and natural, with few ingredients and additives, the better. See the related question below for details and links.
