Unfortunately this is not merely an @awwww-cute moment; this can cause numerous health concerns for rabbits. Rabbits do not need to be bathed, and it is strongly recommended to avoid soaking them.
Rabbits naturally do not sweat or bathe, and are meticulous groomers. Rabbit fur consists of a slick top coat and dense undercoat that
constantly sheds, making the fur self-cleaning.
By bathing a rabbit, both the undercoat and the skin are inevitably soaked.
Due to how dense a rabbit’s undercoat is, even when towelled off, it will trap water against
the skin. This makes the already sensitive rabbit skin even weaker and more prone to
abrasion and dander issues. The now damp rabbit may also become
hypothermic after the bath, just as walking around in damp clothes all
day will make a person cold. Therefore, bathing a rabbit, even with great care,
should be avoided whenever possible.
Furthermore, the process of bathing and drying off the rabbit can cause stress, which can cause the digestive tract to shut down (called GI Stasis). Rabbit digestive systems (and rabbits themselves) are quite fragile, and unless GI Stasis is treated in the
first few days, it is usually fatal. Sadly, it can take a day
or two to be certain that a rabbit is in GI stasis, so rabbits are typically beyond help by the time the problem is addressed. Domestic rabbits die from GI
Stasis more than any other cause.
If a rabbit truly needs to be cleaned by a person, wiping only the dirty parts with a damp towel should be sufficient. Please do not do as this video does!

You guys… Fubuki comments on Saitama living near a bunch of toxic waste in the webcomic. Even Genos comments on it being an abandoned industrial area.
….what if Saitama thinks all he did was train to get powers but really it was living next to a bunch of chemical run off from some lab or the monster association lmfao. Like the training literally did nothing he just thinks it did
*Saitama takes Genos down to the industrial waste site*
“Sensei there are warnings posted…”
“lol that’s why we’re jumping the fence, come on, it’s fun”
“…”
“Here it is! The pond I used to go swimming in all the time. Let’s go skinnydipping, Genos.”
“SENSEI THIS WATER IS LITERALLY GLOWING GREEN.”
“Yeah, isn’t it pretty?! It’s a shame, it used to be brighter.”
“Help me catch some fish Genos! We’ll fix em for dinner!”
“Sensei, these fish have six eyes…”
“Yeah weird huh? But they taste great!”
“They have four legs!!”
“Those are the best part!!”
“Sensei, since you’ve started swimming in that.. um… ‘pond’ again, I’ve become concerned for your health…”
“Why, Genos? It’s good exercise.”
“Yes, but you’re growing gills.”
“What’s wrong with that? They help me swim!”
“It isn’t normal, Sensei!”
“Genos…” -tsk, tsk- “I thought I told you before… The greatest thing about human beings is the ability to change ourselves!”
“MUTATIONS. YOU’RE THINKING OF MUTATIONS.”
“If this is the key to senseis power… Yes I too then will… *goes into pond* *sinks* *has no effect on him because he is a cyborg and made of metal*”
Remember when we were joking about Saitama getting his powers from swimming in radioactive water?
