Yes, they can. Here are the risks of giving your rabbit a bath:
- You can upset and stress her, causing her to panic and injure herself or go into shock
- Soaps and shampoos can irritate her skin, leading to infection
- Water in the ears can lead to infection
- The fur will take a long time to dry, which could lead to hypothermia in cold/windy weather
- You can burn her skin with a hair dryer
Healthy rabbits don't need baths: they clean themselves with their tongues, like cats. If your rabbit needs a bath, that means something is wrong. Giving her a bath could make the problem worse, but even if it doesn't, the bath won't solve the root problem and the mess will only come back.

Can you put baby oil on a rabbit?
No, you can't put baby oil on a rabbit. Anything you put on a rabbit will end up inside the rabbit because rabbits clean themselves by licking themselves. Baby oil is not safe for a rabbit to ingest and can make the rabbit sick. There is no good reason to put baby oil or any kind of oil on a rabbit. If your rabbit is sick, you should bring it to a vet who has experience and knowledge in treating rabbits.
