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.

rabbit proof

I live in a fairly small studio apartment (~600sqft), and I’ve been lonely lately.

After much thought, a rabbit seems to be the best option. I want something cuddly and cute (so no reptiles!), while also being small enough to be able to raise in my studio apartment, and be independent enough to be left alone for several hours without any problems. I also don’t want any noise (like hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, etc.), and rabbits are, by their nature, very very quiet.

Think of my apartment in 4 equally sized boxes. Two boxes = living area, 1 box = kitchen, and the last box = bathroom. I was thinking of making the kitchen the rabbit’s general free roam area, since there are absolutely no exposed wires ("rabbit proof").

I can’t see any cons about a properly litter-trained rabbit. Pee and pooping will be handled by the litter box (which must be replaced, of course; at what frequency?), tendency to bite will be handled by toys (I’m assuming there has to be toys for this…?), and food will be general greens, with carrots as special treats. How expensive can it be (monthly cost, not the start-up cost, which will require a litter box, a bedding/sleeping area, and a room divider)?

I have just bought home a 2 year old male lop eared rabbit for my daughters birthday and would appreciate some advise
The lady i bought him off said he isnt castrated, does this make a difference to anything.
He is currently living like a king, he has everything he could possible want or need, and he has free run of the garden as it is totaaly enclosed, secure and rabbit proof. We do sit and watch him though.
But i return to work tomorrow and we are out the house till 4pm, so i am worried about him being cooped up till then, Could i leave his cage open so he can come and go while we are out or is he at danger from other animals?
Also, i saw rabbit shampoo in the pet shop, should you bathe them? Ive never heard of bathing rabbits before!!!
Would love any advise so we can do the best for our little man. Also what is the rabbits life expectancy?

rabbit proof

I’ve had seven rats throughout my life, but find their short lifespans heartbreaking. So, for my next pet, I was thinking of either 2 rabbits or 2 ferrets. I probably won’t get ferrets, because I can’t let them out 4 hours everyday, and ferret proofing seems nearly impossible. If I did get 2 ferrets, they’d be in this cage http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753263, but if it is really bad for ferrets, I’d save for an FN 142. If I got rabbits, I’d house them in a 6×4 C&C/NIC cage, with maybe a couple of levels or so. I know a lot about ferrets, so for most of these questions I’d prefer a rabbit answer. And comparisons to rats would be nice.
1. How smart are they?
2. How cuddly? (not very from what I’ve heard, but just in case.)
3. How playful?
4. How much time out of cage?
5. What to feed? (not Marshall’s for ferrets, and like 80% timothy hay for rabbits, I think)
6. How Stinky?
7. What to put in their cage? (I’d like rabbit answers here.)
8. How to rabbit-proof?
If all else fails, I’ll continue with rats.

Please no rude answers.
Thank you!

rabbit proof

I have two rabbits, a male and female. They are both house rabbits but have a bunny proof gate between each other. When both of them meet at the gate the male with grunt and the female will make soft little squeaks I guess. I really want to know what this means as she never made it before.

I live in the high desert area of So Cal and have MONSTER jack rabbits eating my lawn. Does anyone have any ideas that do not require death, poison, or electronics to get rid of these rabbits on "roids?"

By yard pests I mean the squirrels and rabbits who are tearing up my garden. I’m looking for an air gun that has sufficent power and accuracy but is still in a modest price range.
