No, rabbits don't like to be in water.
Some rabbits like to be in water, but most do not. Rabbits are able to swim, but that doesn't mean they enjoy it! And if they don't enjoy it, putting your rabbit in water will cause it stress:
- stress can cause a rabbit to panic and seriously injure itself
- prolonged stress can result in all manner of health problems
Even if your rabbit does happen to enjoy swimming, it's still dangerous because:
- the rabbit could get an ear infection from water in their ears
- or a skin irritation from chemicals in the water
- or, if it's cool and breezy, they could get hypothermia
If it's necessary to clean your rabbit, simply "spot clean" with a baby cloth or rag. Or try a "dry bath" method. Generally speaking, your rabbit will clean itself so if it does need cleaning, something is wrong and it should see the vet otherwise it will only get worse.
On a hot day, your rabbit might enjoy a cool-down with some water (but it might not! You have to test things like this out slowly and listen to your rabbit when they say "no" with body language). Whatever the reason, never submerge your rabbit in water: the water should never be higher than its legs.
