How do you shampoo a rabbit?

i need to bathe my rabbit cookies.How do you shampoo a rabbit?
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha鈥?just had to get that out of my system. :)





My mother owned two rabbits, one liked people, the other didn't. while they both had different personalities they had one thing in common...they HATED water. They would literally shred your arms to smithereens as soon as their hind legs hit the wet stuff.





I'm sure there are some rabbits out there who will tolerate taking a bath ours did not. My mother often just used a very wet washcloth or baby wipes to do the job.





GOOD LUCK!How do you shampoo a rabbit?
don't bathe your bunny!! i am an experienced bunny owner, they clean themselves, just use cotton and chamomile tea if anything. you shouldnt be asking questions that pertain to rabbit health here unless you know who you get it from. ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT BATHE HIM BECAUSE IT WILL STRESS THE ... OUT OF HIM. YOU SHOULD NEVER DO THAT! ask a vet who specializes in rabbits if you don't trust me. use cotton and chamoile tea. that is all! if you have any other questions please email me. i'll eb glad to help you.
Hi. I'm a bunny freak! I bath bunnies all the time. I even take them in the bath with me on occasion! However for you, easiest way is kitchen sink.Fill both sides with 4 inches warm water. Sit her in gently and use your hand to pour water over her back. Then take 1-2 TBS shampoo and just scrub her all over.Do her face with a cloth and plain water.They like it as long as the water is warm.Then put her in other sink to rinse it off. Towel dry and place on top of running dryer or under a lamp.
With HARE care products!
Bathing a rabbit can be very stressful especially when its the first time. I own a rabbit myself, named Thumper, I use ';Quick and Easy Shampoo'; sold at PetSmart. It's a dry Shampoo and there is no need for water. Leaves Thumper clean, smelling good and her coat really shiny. No stress for bunny and no stress for you, its only about $5.50 and lasts you a long time. == :* %26gt; }
be very careful when cleaning the rabbit. you can easily damage its spinal cord or injure yourself.


i used a brush to clean my rabbit recently. he had alot of poo stuck in his fur. i did this over the course of a few days because he didn't tolerate it well. one day, i filled the tub with a small amount of water and put the bunny inside. i gently joined him and used the brush to clean up the softened areas. this took almost an hour. i used no soap and the water was very shallow.


because my rabbit lives outside, i bathed him on a very warm day and night. i went slowly and spent about an hour each nite brushing and washing. i made sure he had lots of fresh lettuce afterwards.
rabbits are very clean animals, they spend about half the day cleaning themselves, so bathing them is unnecessary unless they've gotten into something. i figure if you really want to give him a bath you should fill a bathtub up a couple inches and rub shampoo in and wash him off, if it's cold in your house try to hold him and dry him off.
