Proper Rabbit Grooming is not just about keeping your bunny looking neat. It’s a key part of overall pet care that helps prevent health issues and keeps your rabbit comfortable. However, many owners unknowingly make mistakes that could affect their rabbit’s well-being. Here are three common grooming mistakes to avoid—and how Pet Wipes can help improve your routine.
1. Bathing Rabbits Unnecessarily
Rabbits are naturally clean animals and rarely need baths. In fact, bathing can be harmful—it may cause stress, skin irritation, or even lead to hypothermia if not done correctly. Unless your vet recommends it, it’s best to skip the full bath altogether.
What to do instead: Use Pet Wipes for quick spot cleaning. They are gentle on your rabbit’s sensitive skin and perfect for wiping dirt off the paws, bum, or ears after messy situations. Choose wipes that are alcohol-free and fragrance-free for safety.

2. Neglecting Regular Brushing and Grooming
Without regular brushing, rabbits—especially long-haired breeds—can develop tangled fur and ingest too much hair during self-grooming. This can lead to serious digestive blockages that are often expensive and difficult to treat.
What to do instead:
-
Brush long-haired rabbits daily.
-
Brush short-haired rabbits at least once a week.
-
Combine brushing with the use of Pet Wipes to remove loose hair and freshen up the coat.
Regular grooming helps reduce shedding, improves coat condition, and gives you the chance to check for skin issues or parasites early.
3. Ignoring Nail Trimming and Scent Gland Care
Overgrown nails can cause pain, affect your rabbit’s ability to walk properly, and lead to injury. In addition, rabbits have scent glands near their tail that can become dirty and emit a bad odor if not cleaned occasionally.
What to do instead:
-
Trim your rabbit’s nails every 4–6 weeks.
-
Clean around the scent glands gently using Pet Wipes when needed.
It’s always best to let a professional groomer handle it.
