Bathing A Rabbit | Pet Health Advice

In this video, PDSA Vet Fran demonstrates how to bathe your rabbit in 8 simple steps.

Step 1 – Start by putting a bath mat or towel down to stop them slipping and then ask someone to gently hold them on it.

Step 2 – Usually, it’s their bottom that needs washing. So hold their front end up whilst supporting their back end.

Step 3 – Remember, never put your rabbit on their back, as this is really scary for them.

Step 4 – Gently pour warm water over their dirty fur. Make sure it’s no hotter than hand temperature.

Step 5 – Keep soaking any mucky areas until the dirt is soft and can be easily removed with a sponge or soft brush.

Step 6 – Be as quick as you can so your rabbit doesn’t get stressed or cold.

Step 7 – Once you’re finished, wrap your rabbit in a towel and dry them off as much as possible.

Step 8 – If it’s a cold day, put your rabbit somewhere warm, away from draughts, until they’re properly dry.
