Rabbits are very clean and generally wash themselves, just as a cat does.

you generally don't give buns baths unlessthey're very dirty, or possibly before a show if they're dirty.I'd advice cleaning them off with a warm, wet towel.

a Warm Welcome!

If you give them a bath to often (withshampoo)their skin will dry out and become flaky and itchy. Iusually dont bathe my rabbits unless they are really muddy after beingoutside or something.

I only give my bunnies baths when they are REALLY muddy. I use baby shampoo..

no baths if not absolutley necessary and thenonly "spot clean" it ruins thefur--especially rex/mini rex.
