Is there anything i can substitute bunny shampoo with?

i need to give my bunny a bath but i have no bunny shampoo. I have kitten and puppy shampoo.. is there anything else i could use to wash the bunny with?Is there anything i can substitute bunny shampoo with?
Bunnys do not need to be bathed, it's actually very stressful for them, and can be dangerous. What you can do is get a damp clothe and wipe them down, or scrub more on the bottom area if it's really dirty, and if your bunny has white on them you can use white vinegar to get rid of urine stains.Is there anything i can substitute bunny shampoo with?
Damp wipes, without water! You should never bathe a rabbit unless it's an absolute emergency, it's too easy for them to get chill and die of hypothermia before they're dry because their fur is so thick. Just wipe off the dirt from its fur. If it dries you can carefully brush it out with a slicker brush.
You should not be using ANY shampoo, whatsoever, under any circumstances. Rabbits do not get baths in the sense you seem to think they do. In the perfect scenario, a rabbit will NEVER be bathed. They are extremely clean animals and getting them wet just makes them stressed out, which can lead to illness.





To wash a rabbit, you get a towel with some warm water and you gently try to remove whatever is on there. If it's something a little more stuck on, you can fill a sink with less than an inch of water and try again with the towel. You do not want to get the rabbit soaking wet, just where they need a little assistance in cleaning.
