How do you give your bunny a bum bath? I try to clean mine but it's really difficult to get white fur clean and he fights me every step of the way. Any tips to get white fur clean?

I plan to give Scout a bath by putting her in the bathtub. Since just her feet and bottom are dirty, I am going to barely fill any water up in the bathtub; not even an inch, which will just fill up on one end by the drain. I will just soak her feet and bottom. I have some shampoo which says is safe to use on all types of pets and is very gentle. I will see if I can get the grody stuff off without shampoo, but if not I will use a tiny amount. I plan to do it during the day this weekend so she will have no problems drying quickly. I wish I could do it sooner but I am only home in the mornings and at night. Right now our heater is broken so I don’t want to bathe her when it is cold out.

Aww love the new pictures of the bunnies & their condo. They are SO cute!! Glad they seem to be settling in well.

Kirsten, Sailor and Scout are so cute! I was wondering what their condo looked like, I'm glad you posted a whole picture of it, and Sailor is even up their on the 3rd floor too!

Animal shampoo is a great idea. I need to get some!

Thanks! I am sure their condo will grow larger and larger over time. Hehee. Plus eventually once they are used to their new surroundings they will have free run of their bedroom.

The shampoo I have is called Earthbath and it says it is ok to rabbits.

OMG my mom just called me asking if anyone I know wants a bunny. My mom’s friend works at an animal hospital and I guess someone brought in a bunny they found. She is grey and only has one ear. I guess the bunny was attacked by another animal and ripped its ear off. They have had it there for awhile and it is all healed now. My mom’s friend said the bunny is super sweet and very cuddly. Why’d she have to tell me about this?

They will keep the bunny though until they can find a home for her.

bellapsyd · Feb 22nd, 2008, 08:29 PM

ugh! I HATE that ^^b/c I want to open my house to every bunny and love it! At least the bunny has a temp. shelter. Have them try to contact the House Rabbit society in that area. Somewhere that specializes in placing bunnies with special needs.

I was under the impression that bunnies generally don't like to be bathed/don't need to unless super dirty. Same concept as cats. Let me know how it goes! Sounds like you have an excellent plan Kirsten! Tiny bit of water, soap up that little bottom! Makes me laugh how you say you "don't want her to be cold"....how cold IS it exactly in the OC? LOL...I live in Chicago. I'd probably kill for your weather!

kirsten · Feb 22nd, 2008, 09:31 PM

I was tempted to say "ok I will take it!" but I don't think Sailor and Scout will be too happy. My hands are full with two bunnies and three pugs for now.

I will let you know how the bath goes. I will feed her some veggies so she is happy. I don't want to bathe her but she isn't cleaning the poop off her butt and I don't want to leave it on. Luckily it isn't a lot to clean off and she won't get very wet.

Well this week it has been cloudy and raining all week. It is in the 50-60's, probably definitely not as cold as Chicago, but cold for me!

Emald- do you have a bunny too?? :)

omgblonde · Feb 23rd, 2008, 01:23 PM

I would kill for it to be 60 here, that's like our summer weather! LOL

bellapsyd · Feb 23rd, 2008, 02:42 PM

I know! We had a "heat wave" in chicago today...it's 34 degrees. LOL And when it IS summer it's deathly hot so I have to constantly take precautions so the buns don't overheat!
