In a video that’s making a splash on the web, an English bunny named Heidi regularly goes swimming to help ease the pain and stiffness of her arthritis!

The four-year-old bunny actually wears a lifejacket during its vet-recommended hydrotherapy sessions in a heated pool in Milford-On-Sea in Hampshire. Occasionally, Heidi’s long ears are held back with a hair bobble.
