Answers:
sure you can. just buy some pet shampoo and wash it like you would wash a dog or cat.
I have no idea, but I do know you can feed them grass.
yes.go to petsmart/co%26ask for a type os shampoo for rabbits.
Yes you can it is kinda like giving a cat a bath unless they are use to it----it will be messy----
Yes, you can give a rabbit a bath, but they are generally very clean animals. If you do have to give them a bath - which should not be often, mind you - put them in the kitchen sink! Make sure that the water is nice, not too hot, not too cold. As a rule, rabbits do not like water, so they will struggle a bit - so BE CAREFUL! They could hurt themselves and you at the same time. Use a gentle shampoo - something made for animals, not humans, and make sure you don't get ANY water in his ears. When he's done with the bathing aspect of it, try to towel him dry as best as you can and brush him out. They can usually finish the rest.
I give my bunnies a bath in the sink using pet shampoo. I just use a cup and wet them. I don't get their ears and face wet. Then I put soap in my hands and rub the bunny. Then I use a cup to get all the soap out. To clean the face, i just use a damp washcloth with no soap on it. I don't know if that is the correct way, but my bunnies like it and they are clean and happy.
yah u can but make SUREE the water is not too cold and not too hot. and it can stand water for so long or it can get sick.
go look up it on the web/books but i suppose you can use a gental shampoo (animal or baby shampoo but double check. go to petco or some animal store for advice even if you don't buy from there) and it'll be easier probably with two people (one to hold one to wash)
also make sure you dont' get any in the eyes/ears and make sure you compleatley rinse otherwise it gets itchy and can be bad.
Yes. I have done it MANY times before. Start the sink.on medium temp. If its as hott as you would take a bath in, than its way too hot. Rabbits have sensitive skin. So a little bit warmer than room temp. Put the bunny in the sink, make sure you have a towel and all your supplies with you, use a quater size amount of shampoo and rub on the bunny. Do not scrub, especially if it is a show rabbit, thats how you defeat all the density they have. Wash the shampoo out. Use a dime sized amount of conditioner and rub, then wash out. Avoid the face and ears. You can either blow dry (recomended), or rub her down with a towel and let her air dry while hopping through the house! And now you have a clean bunny!
Yes you can, but a bath can be stressful to rabbits. Only if necessary. They make a dry bath just for rabbits. You can get it at most pet stores. If you have any questions about rabbits especially if they are in house you can check out the National House Rabbit Society. They have a web site. Just type in the title and you should find it. Good luck with your bunnys. :)
Yes you can give a rabbit a bath!!
Rabbits don't need baths unless they get into a mud puddle or something. They will naturally clean themselves. before you get a rabbit you should read the House Rabbit Handbook and go to these sites to see if its the right pet for you.
well don't put it in a sink tub full of water or anything like that,. hold the rabbit in one arm and take a wet towelette with a special animal soap you get from Petco, and wash the animal up. to rinse sit the rabit in the sink with no water in there, then take a cup of water and pour it over the rabbit until soap resen is all gone dry it of with a warm towel softly pat the fur, don't rub.
hope you get your rabbit!
no.it will drown. seriously, go to a library and get a book
PLEASE DON'T LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO TELL YOU TO GIVE IT A BATH!
Rabbits clean their fur just like what a cat does. Here are some reasons why not to give your rabbit a bath.
1. If you get the rabbit too cold, especially with a breeze you can give it pneumonia and in a day or so it will be dead.
2. A bath will remove the natural oils in the rabbits fur, damaging the fur.
If the rabbit has a stain, soak a rag in white vinegar. Wring the excess vinegar out. Work the stain over with the soaked rag. Repeat the same process but with a water soaked rag to rinse the white vinegar out. Then towel the rabbit dry.
