No, you can't give your rabbit a bath in the bathtub.Anyway, it's a very bad idea. Here's why:
It's not usually a good idea to bathe a rabbit at all.Rabbits are clean animals and they wash themselves. Baths can be very traumatic for rabbits, and for other reasons the rabbit can become ill from a bath. So, it's best not to bathe your rabbit at all. If the rabbit is dirty, then you should give it a bath -- but you should also find out why it's dirty and treat the cause! Unless you're absolutely positive your rabbit is healthy (for example, maybe it just jumped into a mud puddle before you could stop it), then you should bring the rabbit to a special vet who has experience and knowledge with rabbits.
If you do need to give your rabbit a bath, you should not do it in the bathtub.
For all these reasons, it's best not to use the bathtub; instead, use a baby bath, or a foot bath, or some other small and shallow container; and fill a jug with water to use for pouring and rinsing.
If you have to bathe a rabbit, you should follow specific instructions so that you keep the rabbit safe. See the related question below for more details.
No, you can not wash your rabbit in Dawn dish soap, or any dish soap or laundry soap, or even most body soaps and shampoos-- even many soaps made for babies, cats, or dogs are too harsh for rabbits; even some soaps made for rabbits aren't good! Rabbits have very sensitive skin and if they need to be washed, they need a very gentle soap: use a standard wash-out variety (not a leave-in kind) that's hypoallergenic, non-medicated, organic, biodegradeable/environmentally-friendly shampoo with natural emollients to soothe the skin (like oatmeal) and as few additives as possible (unscented, etc.). You'll probably have better success finding a good rabbit shampoo at a natural foods store than a pet store.
Rabbits are usually clean animals because they groom themselves. If your rabbit needs a bath, something is wrong and the rabbit should probably see a vet!
Even if you use a safe soap, baths can be very dangerous for rabbits! If your rabbit is dirty, don't just throw her in the tub: there are specific steps you should take to make sure you're keeping the rabbit safe. See the related question below for details and helpful links.
Some more tips:
- Never get soap into the rabbit's eyes or mouth. If any gets near its face, rinse it quickly. If the rabbit ate any soap or you get a lot into its eyes, bring it to the vet. There is a bunny bath soap made specifically for rabbits and guinea pigs and it works pretty good!
- Rabbits HATE water. It would be wise to let it clean itself; that way it's not scared of you. They would rather lick themselves, and I think it's a better idea to leave them be.
It would be best to use pet shampoo or baby shampoo. Be sure to rinse bunny thoroughly, and keep it warm while it dries.
if it is still attached to the rabbit yes otherwise i do not know. you can use animal shampoo to just be vary carful near the head. DO NOT get water or shampoo in the ears or eyes.
Sure - just ensure you rinse thouroughly
Yes they can be washed.
If the rabbit fur was skinned already, you could call it a skin, pelt, fur. If it's still on a breathing, live rabbit, it's called a coat. It's OK to just call it rabbit fur.
no they do not kill rabbits for moccasins they use foe fur and if you know what a rabbit fur feels like its wayyy softer
It's not a good idea to bathe a rabbit with fur loss. Whatever is causing the fur loss, a bath could make it worse and really irritate the skin. If your rabbit is suffering from fur loss, something is very wrong! This is not at all normal for rabbits. Bring your rabbit to a special knowledgeable vet as soon as possible!

Brush it. When a rabbit eats his fur, it means you need to brush it. get a special cat or rabbit brush at your pet store or walmart and brush it every day. If your rabbit keeps pulling out his fur it will eventually die. It will die because the fur will clog up its stomach. So brush your rabbit is the answer.
A rabbit camouflages using its fur. For instance, a cottontail has gray and brown fur to blend in with dirt.
