How often are you supposed to shower your dutch bunny?

Answer 1

It is not recommended to give a bath/shower to a rabbit. To help him keeping clean, the better way is by grooming him everyday with a soft brush or comb. If he is unable to wash his backside, it might be a sign of being overweight : make sure by feeling his ribs. If you cannot feel them easily, put your bunny on a restricted pellets diet : he will regain his ability after loosing some weight.

Answer 2

A healthy rabbit doesn't ever need a bath. Rabbits are clean animals and they wash themselves. Baths can actually be dangerous for rabbits, and they should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. If your rabbit needs a bath for some reason, something is wrong! Either it got into something messy -- in which case, you should make sure that never happens again; or, it's sick, and it needs a vet as soon as possible.

If your rabbit does need a bath for some reason, like if it stinks or is dirty (e.g. covered in mud or soil), then try the "dry bath" method first -- this is much safer for rabbits. If that doesn't work, next step is to spot-bathe with a wash cloth. Only if that doesn't work too should you try a bath, but you should take very specific precautions to avoid illness and injury! See the related question below for more details.

Another opinion: It's better not to give it a bath at all. If you insist on bathing it, you may bathe it once/twice a month.

Answer 3

You don't need to give your rabbit a bath. Rabbits are clean animals and they wash themselves. There are some grooming jobs you should do on your rabbit -- like brushing it, especially when it's moulting; and clipping its nails; and so on (see related link below). It can actually be dangerous to bathe a rabbit: there are a lot of risks involved and the rabbit can end up seriously injured or ill. If your rabbit is dirty and needs a bath, something is wrong and the rabbit should probably see a vet. See the related question below for more details.

Answer 4

Rabbits should be bathed only long enough to get the stains on their fur out. You should use a mild pet soap and rinse thoroughly. (soap will dry out their skin. Care should be taken to dry well and keep from drafts until completely dry. A hair dryer set on warm can be used if it does not scare your bunny.
