If a rabbit's head gets wet, it could get an ear infection.

Baths are not usually necessary for rabbits. Healthy rabbits bathe themselves, and as a matter of course you should keep them away from very messy areas. If your rabbit is messy, something is wrong! Baths can be very dangerous for rabbits, whether their head stays dry or not. See the related question below for details and links.

Do rabbits come out at night?

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!

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.
