Do you use water for a rabbit's bath?
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.

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.

What soap do you use to clean a bunny?
If I were you I would just use plain old rabbit soap, because if you were to use your body soap for your rabbit, it would dry out their skin, becasue they have different skin types. If you don't have rabbit shampoo then I would say that its safe to use just water to wash your rabbit.
How do you give your rabbit a bath if he is dirty not just around the butt?
Wherever your rabbit happens to be dirty, follow the same procedure:Deal with the cause! Rabbits aren't normally dirty -- they're normally very clean animals -- so if your rabbit is dirty, something is wrong. Don't just bathe the rabbit and forget about it: figure out what's wrong and fix it! Probably your rabbit should see a vet because, if it isn't illness that's making the rabbit dirty, then the dirtiness could be making the rabbit ill in ways you can't see.Try a dry bath first (see related question for details).Try a spot bath if the dry bath doesn't work: use a wet wash cloth and wipe the dirty area.If the spot bath doesn't work either, try a full bath with water and possibly shampoo. See the related question below for details. It's best to use a baby bath or a foot bath or some small container, instead of the bathtub: it's easier to control the rabbit and keep it safe, and it's less stressful for the rabbit. Never completely immerse the rabbit in water: water in the ears can lead to infection, and a panicking rabbit could drown. The water level should not go above the top of the rabbit's legs. Hold the rabbit still and wash whatever spots are dirty. It's a good idea to have a jug of clean water nearby: then you can rinse the soapy spots easily and thoroughly. Make sure to rinse all soap residue from the belly and legs. Make sure the soap/shampoo you're using is safe! Rabbits have sensitive skin and even baby shampoos can cause chemical burns or skin irritation (leading to infection and other complications).

The only reason to give a rabbit a bath is if it's messy and can't clean itself. Healthy rabbits groom themselves. Rabbits do not normally need baths. If your rabbit is messy, that means something is wrong! Baths can be dangerous for rabbits, so if you need to give a rabbit a bath you must be very careful and follow certain precautions. See the related question below for details and links.Reasons to give a rabbit a bath include:The rabbit is stained with urine or feces. In this case, the rabbit is sick, or perhaps her cage/habitat is filthy and too small -- either way, the rabbit needs to see a vet.The rabbit got into something messy, like mud, or you spilled something on her, like cooking oil. In this case, you can skip the vet visit although you must pay very close attention to her over the next week or so, and if you notice signs of illness, go to the vet after all. Also, make changes to ensure the rabbit never gets into that mess again.
