petco sells both kinds and im not sure witch one to choose! ive also heard you can sprinkle the dry shampoo on the bottom of the rabbit's cage. is that true?
these are my two questions:
dry or wet shampoo?
can you put a little dry shampoo on the bottom of a cage to reduce stench?Which ones better for a rabbit, dry or wet shampoo?
Dry shampoo, and the best way to reduce cage odor is by cleaning once a week like clockwork. and also is it had a hidey hut make sure you clean it and all of its accessories. I wouldn't put the dry shampoo on the bottom of the cage. And i read you aren't really supposed to give a rabbit a wet bath.Which ones better for a rabbit, dry or wet shampoo?
Because of the way a rabbit's hair is, (and this is assuming that you have a normal furred rabbit, although rex and wool furred are the same when talking about baths) If you get a rabbit wet and do not dry it completely it can cause skin and health issues along with matting etc. If you feel you must give your rabbit a bath (which if you keep the cage and accessories clean you really shouldn't have to other than a wiping off of poo on the bottom of the feet every now and then) then use the dry shampoos, make sure it is for rabbits and use very little,
rabbits are very clean animals and groom and clean themselves off and on all day long, so if you do use the dry make sure it is safe for the animal to ingest because they will.
Most of the time for people who are planning on showing a soft bristled brush and maybe a damp paper towel are all they use to clean a rabbit. Because actually bathing a rabbit is not necessary.
As for using it on the bottom of the cage I again would say not. IF you are having an issue with smell start cleaning twice a week and using a white vinegar/water/peroxide mix to do so. It is safe for the animal and kills bacteria and smell.
Good luck
