Before y’all start in on me, I searched the interweb about bathing bunnies and most of what I read said not a good idea, although, I read someplace that said it could be done, but, the bunny must not be left wet and cold, to avoid drafts and make sure it’s good and dry. I don’t recommend it to be done often, but, my Velvet would go in a tub of water everyday I think if I let her.
I guess I got a mental rabbit huh?
Velvet, a Jersey Woolly, also has had this problem a few times, mostly from too much soft food like apple slices and too much lettuce, not enough hay. I have filled up our bathtub about 2-3 inches of lukewarm water, and the first time I gently set her but down in the water, she seemed scared for about 2 seconds, then it was, “I like it, can I walk around in this stuff.” She loves it, although I only let her in the tub when her butts got a big glob of SHTUFF on it………………………Put on some latex or vinyl gloves like doctors use, unless you WANT to pull the stuff off with bare hands, but, it loosens up in just a few minutes, just have someone standing by with a nice big towl
to wrap her up in till she gets dry. Velvet usually dries up in five minutes or so, then she’s nice and clean, pull gently on the glob, while sitting in the water, it will eventually slide right off.
Her best freind Rudy (in the bed) would NEVER allow this “BATH” stuff……………..
Rudy is a girl too, I guess I accept gay, and interacial marriage, cause these 2 really do love each other and play cat and mouse eeeer rabbit quite often. It’s funny cause Velvet is so fast the cat winds up looking all over for her.
