How do you bathe a wild bunny?

Answer 1

Like all bunnies, dwarf bunnies don't need baths. Healthy rabbits keep themselves clean. Only if something is wrong might a bunny need a bath. Baths can be very dangerous for rabbits! See the related question below for details and links -- it applies to dwarf rabbits as well as all rabbits.

Answer 2

You really don't want to shower them, to avoid ear infections from water in the ear. The best way to bath them is to put them in the tub, with less than an inch of water. You do not want to get soap or water on the ears, nose, or eyes. Use a mild baby shampoo, or a bunny shampoo, and cleanse them in warm water. This should not last more than five minutes, because it could put them into shock. Hand dry them with a towel, and then they will be sparkling clean!

Answer 3

well u just put water on it only bathe it if its really dirty because bunnies are different and other wild bunnies can escape fast and bite lots of times its kinda dangerous then home bunnies even home bunnies can run fast but wild rabbits can escape easily

Answer 4

Healthy rabbits don't need bathing: they keep themselves clean. If your rabbit is dirty and needs a bath, that's a big sign that something is wrong. Either the rabbit is sick, or you need to do better rabbit-proofing so the rabbit can't get into messy things.

If you need to bathe the rabbit, you should follow special precautions, because baths can be dangerous, even deadly, for rabbits. See the related question below for details and links about what you can use to bathe bunnies.

You should bring your rabbit to a vet to treat the cause of the dirtiness, otherwise it will only return and eventually your rabbit will die.
