Question
I have 4 rabbits and would like to know how to clean them. I have 1 white rabbit, 1 grey, 1 black with white on back end, 1 that is orangey grey.Do i get them wet?

Answer
Dear Joden,

Rabbits should never be bathed.  If they are dirty because they're spraying each other with urine, then they need to be spayed/neutered:

If their bottoms are messy, please read:

and

for complete information.  You can find a good rabbit vet to help you here:

I hope this helps.
