RE: Bunnies CAN"T SWIM!!

[Trishie]

First off, rabbits should never be in a pool. I mean think about it, it’ll strip them from their natural oils, the chemicals will get in their ears (water period can) and will leave you with a rabbit in poor health. I can’t imagine how their fur would be like after a swim in chlorine.

Secondly, I’d imagine in any situation a rabbit going into the water would run chances of going into shock because we all know their psycho bodies, anything that changes that dramatically like body temperature can throw the whole bunny off balance

And for my last comment on it, I want someone to tell me when their rabbit is running longer than a minute. It almost never happeneds, their fat bums always have to take a rest. So basically these are rabbits who (I’ve never seen go in water willingly in a video… deep water) are using up all of their energy, increasing their heart rate faster than it would already go for a sprint around the yard, and giving their body an unneeded shock from the temperature difference.

Doesn’t it just seem perfect for a heart attack?

I know of rabbits that like water, but only a few inches to play in, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen or heard of a rabbit just willingly going into a pool

but oh well, people will keep on making their rabbits swim, but just cos you see it on tv doesn’t reinforce the idea of swimming rabbits
