Question
Katie this may seem a bit odd.
I wanted to know if there is a need to bath, brush and do any other kind of grooming for my rabbit?  If so how often and what to use?

Thanks
Tanya

Answer
Hi Tanya,
Rabbits are very clean animals. The only time they would need a bath is if you think they were smelly and had sat in poo/wee or they had mites in which case you'd need to give them a special bath. Grooming your rabbit once a week is sufficient unless it is a long haired variety, brushing is a great way to bond with your pet and is quite important.
Hope this helps
Katie
