Do your bunnies use water to wash themselves?

I have just watched Snowdrop spend ten minutes drinking water from a bowl, spit it onto her hands and then wash herself with it! They dont usually have a bowl so she is fascinated by it!
 
Both Barney and Roxy dip their paws in the bowl and wash themselves. Barney is dead cute though because he'll have a slurp of water and then groom Roxy :love:
 
My rabbits put their paws in their water bowls but just because they are clumsy :lol:

One of my hamsters used to put her paw on the water bottle ball, let out the water onto her head and then wash herself though, if that counts :lol:

here here frank does that except im not sure he knows when to stop as he emptys the ENTIRE water bottle over his head.... then sit there washing.... and if i dont fill the bottle straight away for him to drink from he bites the bottle like mad as soon as he has finished washing :roll:

rabbit wish yes iv seen ours do this but the main one i was going to say was chelsea she will sit in the rain and allow herself to get quite wet but not sodden through to skin then sit there washing i think she finds it easier sometimes due to her athritus! x
 
Hmm i havent seen Alfie use his bowl for cleaning (my other two have bottles) but he does somehow manage to wee in it!! It's quite a high sided bowl so how he manages it is anyone's guess!:roll::roll::lol::lol:
 
I've seen Daisy do it a couple of times, but her usual water trick is binkying past/into the water bowl and flicking water all over me :roll: :lol:
 
Flora likes to do this too:D.
She also likes to put her greens in the water bowl, then toss them out.
