Is it safe to use cat or ferret shampoo for bathing my rabbit?

Question

I'm looking for a shampoo that is safe for bathing my 8 year old rabbit, and I can't find shampoo specifically for rabbits at any of the local pet shops. I was wondering if ferret or cat shampoo will be safe for her.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Generally, rabbits keep themselves pretty clean so you shouldn't be bathing too frequently. However, if you do need to bathe her, you can use Kaytee Squeaky Clean Critter shampoo. This is fine to use as an over the counter product specifically for rabbits.
