I live in Pittsford, NY.
-Is it legal to shoot the gun at squirrels, rabbits, or wrens (birds) on your property
-Is it legal to do it on public property owned by the town?
-Other peoples property with consent?
-Do you need a hunting license to hunt these three small game on your property or others property?

I think I’m going to get a chinchilla, but I’m still a little bit on the fence about whether or not I want a rabbit instead. I am fully aware of the care that both of these need, so the work is not a worry. I’m wondering which should I get? Could I have some pros and cons? Thanks!

Are these ok to do to a rabbit even if there’s no ear mites? I don’t know if she has them… I don’t see anything in her eat but she flicks her head to the side but I think it’s just part of her binky. I want to do one of these just to be safe. Is it ok?
Home Remedies for Ear Mites in Rabbits
By Jessica Kolifrath, eHow Contributor
Rabbits can acquire an ear mite infestation by spending time outdoors, or from hay that is given to them. Ear mites are a tiny pest that feed on the skin cells of the ear, causing irritation and pain. If your rabbit is scratching at his ears and has a dark brown crust in his ears, he is likely infested with ear mites. There are a few home remedies that can help. (See References)
Oil Treatments
A gentle oil, such as mineral oil or olive oil, can be heated until warm and then 2 or 3 drops added to the infected ears. Massage the ear for a few minutes to work the oil in and loosen the crust, then wipe gently with a oil soaked cotton ball. Continue this daily until the ears are clean and the rabbit stops scratching. (See References)
Shampooing
Ear mites can travel out of the ear and hide in the rabbit’s fur. Shampooing the rabbit with a rabbit safe shampoo after each ear mite treatment can help prevent re-infestations. (See References)
Over the Counter Medication
Administer an over the counter ear mite treatment that features selamectin, such as Rabbit RX or Revolution. Follow the instructions carefully to avoid overdosing the rabbit. Many cat ear mite medications are safe for use on rabbits, as well.
White Vinegar
Pour a small amount of a vinegar solution of one part vinegar to two parts water in the rabbit’s ears. Many vets recommend this to kill the ear mites and loosen dirt. Do not use this treatment on rabbits with irritated ears or open wounds.

I just moved in the house. According to my neighbors the previous tenants abandoned him 2 years ago and they have been feeding and taking care of him. The yard is very large and fenced and he is very gentle and has never gotten out. He’s adorable and I want to take care of him. Is it safe for him to continue living this way? Should I do something else?
