I asked around and everyone seemed to have a different answer to the same question you have. I chose to listen to what I thought was the best advice, and that is this. I bathe my rabbits, only when they really have need to be bathed. Rabbits are generally clean animals and will take care of their own hygiene. When I do bathe them, I use a mild soap, like Dove, and rinse them well. I have never bathed their entire body at once. Make sure they are not sick and be sure to dry them very well. Rabbit fur takes a long time to dry, and if they become chilled, they could catch a cold. If you have outdoor rabbits, I would suggest bathing them on a warm day so they will dry quickly. The only parts of my buns that ever warrant being cleaned are their bottoms and their feet. Good luck to you, Katie
