No, a healthy animal such as a rabbit should never take a bath. You shouldn't need to bathe your rabbit. Healthy rabbits groom themselves. Rabbits clean themselves the same way cats do, by licking themselves. If a rabbit is molting, it should be brushed daily to make sure it doesn't swallow too much fur, as they can't digest it and this can lead to serious illness.
Sometimes rabbits do need a bath, but if your rabbit does need a bath, that means something is wrong and you should consult a rabbit-savvy vet about it!
Bathe rabbits VERY carefully, because there are many risks and it can be very dangerous for the rabbit! Do research first about how to bathe the rabbit: there are many resources online that can help you: see the question below for details and links.

Another Wrote in Response: Grooming sprays like this can be very dangerous for rabbits: they can harm the rabbit's sensitive skin, or by licking its fur the rabbit can be poisoned. Do not use any commercial products on your rabbit unless a rabbit expert or rabbit-savvy vet has said it's good.

You can give a rabbit a bath, however, it is not as healthy for the animal because the water washes away oils that keep the rabbit's skin clean. Rabbits don't need a bath because they clean themselves and if your rabbit has not very clean feet then you can was the feet but they normally clean there feet so you shouldn't need to clean then.
No. Rabbits do not need baths and generally find them very stressful.
If absolutely necessary, it is better to just do a "spot cleaning" of the area that is dirty rather than subjecting a rabbit to the stress of bathing.
If it is absolutely necessary to bathe your rabbit, keep in mind that it takes rabbit fur a long time to dry, and in cold/windy weather they may catch hypothermia. In that case, it is a good idea to use a blow dryer (on a warm, never hot, setting) to speed the process. Rabbits are prone to overheating, so be cautious; you also want to avoid burning the skin. If the weather is warm and you can keep your rabbit away from drafts, let the rabbit air-dry instead.
There are many other risks associated with bathing your rabbit. It is best to avoid baths if possible.

Is a rabbit a day animal or a night animal?
No, in the wild rabbits are crepuscular, meaning that they are most active at dawn and dusk. Rabbits have evolved to be active when the low light makes it hard for predators like foxes to see them, but it is still too bright for owls to be out hunting. Domestic rabbits might be more active at night time than day, but wild rabbits are usually not. In suburban settings, where there is enough artificial lighting, rabbits may be active late at night because the conditions mimic dusk.

Usually at night or early in the morning around dawn. There is a theory that if you breed a doe at night she will have them at night and if you breed her at noon she will have them during the day. I don't think that is right. my experience is that they have them when they have them and most likely it will be at dawn when it is quiet and they feel safest.
