It's generally not recommended to bathe a pet rabbit unless absolutely necessary, as rabbits are skilled at grooming themselves and bathing can be stressful for them. However, if you must bathe your rabbit, here are some tips to do it safely:

  1. Use a shallow basin or sink filled with lukewarm water.
  2. Use a mild rabbit-safe shampoo or just water if possible.
  3. Support your rabbit gently but securely during the bath.
  4. Be quick and gentle, making sure to avoid getting water in the rabbit's ears or eyes.
  5. Dry your rabbit thoroughly with a towel and keep them warm until completely dry.

Always consult with your veterinarian before bathing your rabbit to ensure it is done safely and appropriately.
