It can be dangerous to give a rabbit a bath. If you just use warm water, then you're avoiding the risk of dangerous shampoo/soap, but there are other risks to be aware of if you need to give your bunny a bath. Also, if your rabbit needs a bath, something is wrong and you should probably see a vet. Healthy rabbits keep themselves clean. See the related question below for more important info and links about bathing rabbits.

How do you dry a bunny after she has had a bath?

The best way to dry your bunny after a bath is to start with a large towel and get her as dry as you possibly can using just that. Once that is done, a blow drying on it's lowest heat setting (but not cold) use your hand in between the hair dryer and the bunny to make sure her sensitive skin does not get burned. Some bunnies really don't mind this, others hate it. So see how she reacts and go with her reaction. It is very important to get her as dry as you can and not to let her get cold while she is wet as bunnies are very susceptible to getting chilled in that way! You should only bath a bunny if you absolutely have to. It is not recommended, it is very stressful for the bunny and is normally not necessary!

How old should rabbits be before you give them a bath?

Only give your rabbit a bath if competely neccessary. If there is just a little dirt, your rabbit should be able to clean itself. However if there is something caked on your rabbit, a bath may be neccessary. Make sure you have plenty of towels for when you are done, because if the rabbit is wet and cold, it may lead to illness. When bathing your rabbit, you might want to use a shampoo from you're local pet shop, or use a gentle baby shampoo, as long as you keep it OUT OF EYES and OUT OF EARS! Just make sure your rabbit is dry and warm before you return them to thir cage. =]

Can you give your dog a bath straight after vaccinations?

you realy shouldn't give your dog a bath after it got its vaccinations. today we went to the vet and my dog got his shots,and when we got home he was lazy,and just wanted to relax. and it may upset the dog. so you should wait about an hour,or more. and watch to see if it has any reactions to the vaccinations,because giving a bath will just upset it more,and you'll make another trip back to the vet if it has a reaction. so just wait. and make sure the water is warm,not hot,not cold. or ask a vet. !
