Video: Do Rabbits Need to Be Bathed?

Do Rabbits Need to be Bathed? Mary Cotter and Amy Sedaris discuss.

In fact, rabbits don’t need to be bathed they are prodigious self groomers and they keep themselves immaculately clean. But every once in a while for a variety of a reasons a rabbit will get a really poopy butt and maybe because he’s sick because he’s having a digestive problem. It maybe because he’s arthritic and he can’t lean over to clean himself very well.
