I use an animal-bath wipe and a fine-tooth comb. Wipe and comb, wipe and comb. I use cornstarch and alcohol on dry old stains.
I don't know if shampoo would be considered foreign substance, but I kinda think not, because Guinea Pig breeders use it all the time and they go by the same rules as rabbit breeders. (But on that note, I've seen a rabbit that was given a full bath and it looked terrrrible. Really destroyed the natural properties of the coat.) I really don't know what qualifies as foreign substance. I read something on the Nature Trail website today that surprised me about it:
"Anti-Static Spray - Sure, it's a grooming aid, too, but it deserves it's own mention. I was a little wary about using it in the beginning - I'm such a rule follower and I was afraid it was a foreign substance. But when I was at the Judge's Academy, I asked Glen Carr about it and was told it was okay to use. It really doesn't do anything that water won't do, it's just that it lasts longer. It's especially helpful on longish fur and during the dry winter months. I purchased mine from Pandora Allen of Fox Allen Farms. It's called Winner's Edge."
Just in case you don't know, Glen Carr is a highly respected judge and was the secretary of the ARBA for at least 20 years.
