When choosing a shampoo for your rabbit, look for products specifically labeled for small animals or rabbits. These shampoos are usually fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and gentle on sensitive skin. Avoid shampoos made for humans or other pets, as they may contain harsh chemicals or scents that can irritate your rabbit.

• Make sure the shampoo is detergent-free and pH balanced.
• Always follow the instructions on the label for safe use.

If you're unsure, consult your veterinarian before trying a new product.
