I've seen it. Some bunnies are very chilled about baths. Some even LIKE to swim in pools. Of course, where I an outdoor pool may have 88 F water. Rory likes to get in the shower with me for some reason. Silly bunny.

It isn't recommended to immerse a rabbit in a bath. They can chill very easily and their fur takes a long time to dry. Rabbits sometimes need to be bottom bathed if their fur is soiled because of the risk of fly strike, but complete bathing is not a good idea.

Some of the videos on YouTube purport to show rabbits 'who like being in the pool' but there is rarely footage of a rabbit choosing to go into the pool and the suspicion I have is that their owners put them in and enjoy watching them 'swim'. In the wild rabbits would not choose to enter a body of water and I find it unlikely that domestic rabbits would choose to do this.
