Can you shower a bunny with baby shampoo?

i wanna shower my bunny but is it okay and wat can i use?Can you shower a bunny with baby shampoo?
Do not fully bathe your bunny. If the bunny is not excessively dirty (no dirty butt, etc), don't bathe it. They wash themselves like a cat, so there is usually no need to bathe them. If you do need to clean them, use a moist wash cloth and bathe just that one specific dirty area. They can go into shock, develop pneumonia, or get another illness if you bathe them completely.Can you shower a bunny with baby shampoo?
Unless your bunny is physically dirty (with feces and/or food grime) or smells unbearably badly, there's no reason to bathe him.


If you must bathe him, make sure it's no more often than once every 2-3 months if you use shampoo. Use either kitten shampoo or Castille soap. Make sure it's unscented. Make sure you rinse the bunny extremely well.


Once the bunny is washed, towel dry for at least 15 minutes and use a hair dryer on cool until the bunny is completely dry. We're talking dry to the skin. Then take a dry towel and cuddle your bunny for another 15 minutes just to be sure he's dry.


Good luck.
The only reason you should be bathing it is if it has matted fur and has a bunch of manure stuck in its fur.If you MUST bath your rabbit, do it with kitten shampoo and with luke-warm water and gently scrub the dirty spot.Be sure to fully dry the rabbit before placing it back in it's cage.
Please don't bathe your bunny. They have a really difficult time getting dry and can become so chilled that they die. You may think you've dried them enough, but you most likely haven't.


Besides, rabbits don't need bathed, unless they're dirty beyond brushing.
Bathing rabbits isn't necessary and dangerous! They will get frighten, may have a heart attack and die! I would strongly advise against it! %26lt;%26gt;%26lt;
