If your rabbit has sticky fur because you spilled something on her or she got into something sticky, she needs a bath; you should also make changes to her habitat to ensure she never gets sticky like that again.
If your rabbit has sticky fur because of urine, feces, or mucous, she is sick and needs a bath as well as a visit to the vet's -- healthy rabbits groom themselves.
Baths can be very dangerous for rabbits, so they should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. If they are necessary, baths should be undertaken with great care, following certain guidelines to ensure the rabbit is kept safe. Ideally, a full-on bath won't be necessary: a "spot bath" is safer; a "dry bath" even safer! See the related question below for details and links.

Do you give a rabbit a bath?
Rabbits have many layers of fur, so when you give a rabbit a water bath, it's fur will retain a huge amount of water. The water will make the rabbit cold and may even cause pneumonia. If the rabbit lives outdoors, I would recommend giving it a bath with corn starch (a baking substance). If the rabbit lives indoors, you can carefully give it a bath in the sink or a tub with the water level low enough so the rabbit can stand comfortably. Then you should towel dry the rabbit and use a blow dryer on the lowest setting until the rabbit is comfortably dry. Then keep the rabbit indoors until it is completely dry.
How to take care of rabbit fur?
Most rabbits need quite little maintenance on their fur but some breeds such an Angora rabbits need attention. Brushing their fur will help them keep up with moulting and not have mats and knots. It is also a good idea to use a sticky roller on yourself, as rabbit fur is quite fine and can easily stick to clothing. Also use a softer roller on the rabbit to get rid of any loose fur that has parted with the skin. It is best not to do this if the rabbit is nesting because it will want it's fur to line the nest for it's young.

Will dog urine harm a rabbit?
It depends. If he just peed on the rabbit, no. You'll want to wash it (if it's a pet of course), because it will stink, and can cause irritation of the skin.If the rabbit ingested it, maybe it will harm the rabbit. It depends on the quantity and all of that. I would definitely bring it to the vet if you're concerned because think if a human drank urine, you would vomit and it would have nasty consequences for your stomach. See the related question below about rabbit vets.Be careful washing rabbits. Don't give your bunny a full bath. Baths can be stressful for rabbits, and when rabbits panic they can easily injure themselves. Other things about the bath can hurt your rabbit too:- hot water or hot air from the blow dryer can cause a burn- wet fur can lead to hypothermia- water in the ears can lead to infection- and soap/shampoo can cause a chemical burn or irritate the skin (even some baby shampoos or pet soaps are too harsh for sensitive rabbit skin)If the rabbit's fur is wet with urine (or anything), the best kind of bath is the "dry bath" method. Take some baby cornstarch powder (NOT baby powder: nothing with talc!), and rub it into the fur. It will absorb the liquid. Then use a soft brush to brush out the powder.If you need to give a wet bath, give a spot bath with a cloth: don't immerse the rabbit in water.See the related question below for more details about bathing rabbits.
