Is okay to just wash a dwarf rabbit's butt and feet with regular shampoo?

She's a white rabbit, very healthy. She just needs a good scrub on her butt and feet because they've turned yellow. She's less than a year old if that means anything but she's at her full weight now I believe. If there's any problems with washing her with regular shampoo or dish soap just on those areas, please let me know!

I have two netherland dwarf's at home. Make sure you use rabbit shampoo. Regular and dish soap can be harmful for rabbits. Dish soap will dry out the rabbit's fur. Regular can have harsh chemicals that can react with the rabbit. Make sure when you use rabbit shampoo that you don't use it too often because it will take the natural oils out of the rabbit's fur. I would only wash the rabbit about once every two months or so. No more then once a month. Make sure you use warm water. You don't want the water to be too hot because you can overheat the rabbit. You can use a hair dryer if need be to dry the rabbit. Make sure the setting is on low and you give the rabbit breaks from getting hair dried so it doesn't overheat. A good substitution for using rabbit shampoo is using unscented baby wipes. I use it on my male rabbit if he gets any dropping stuck on him.Is okay to just wash a dwarf rabbit's butt and feet with regular shampoo?
I've washed rabbits before. It's okay as long as you use a gentle baby shampoo and don't do it too often. Rabbits are generally very clean animals but stains do happen, especially on white rabbits. Scrubbing it probably won't get rid of all the stains but it can help. Stains usually disappear when the rabbit molts (sheds) its fur out. Depending on the yellow color, some white colored rabbits can take on a yellowish hue when they are beginning to molt.
dont get soap on his privat part it stings .

fill the tub with water warm and put your rabbit in there she will try to jump and get u wet so put on a bathing suit get inthe tub with her and close the curtains for the tub so she cant jump out !!!!!!!!!!!!
It should be ok as shampoo at least used to be tested on rabbits, just don't use a lot and rinse well
Use a gentle formula baby shampoo.
