Rabbits do not take dust baths like some other small animals, such as ferrets or chinchillas. Instead, they groom themselves to maintain their fur and skin health. However, providing a safe space with clean, fine materials like shredded paper or hay can help them keep their fur clean and healthy. It's important to avoid using dust or sand, as it can irritate their respiratory systems.
