One more question: how do the costs of selamectin and ivermectin compare?

The idea of oral ivermectin is attractive because there's no way I can mess that up. (On the other hand with DE I might not apply it right...) How long and how often should I dose? I'm sure my vet will give me instructions but he's not a rabbit expert so I'm asking you guys too

And by the way, would this be topical or oral?

Thanks so much! Are either of these over the counter or should I just ask my vet specifically for one of them?

Early stages of ear mites in my 6 pound male mini lop. I want whatever's most likely to actually work

Can I use Sentry Ear-mite Free on my rabbit?

That's what I'm thinking too. Because it's not at all on the outside of his ears. I never see him scratching his ears though.. What is the most probable cause of the itching?

There are little patches on the inside of each ear were the skin looks scuffed up (like when you fall on concrete and skin your knee) and its red and flaky. He was previously housed with an aggressive female for 1-2 days that harassed him, humped him and tried pinning him down (and she ripped...

Today I was brushing my rabbits because there was fur all over their cage (indicating that they were shedding). As always, they hated being brushed and endless amounts of hair was pulled out before I got too tired to continue lol. I was always told that the hair that comes out is all shedding...

Thanks so much for your detailed response! Yes,the more I think about it spaying her seems like the only solution. I will get this done as soon as I can.

So I have a pair of rabbits that are bonded... I think. Well I don't know how you can tell for sure if they're considered "bonded". Whenever I take one out and then put it back, they snuggle up against each other immediately. They sleep next to each other and groom each other a lot. The thing...

Why can't rabbits have clumping cat litter? (Like "World's Best Cat Litter" or "Swheat Scoop") - I've heard it's because rabbits eat the litter and it clumps inside them, but I've never ever seen my rabbits eating their litter. Some clumping litters are so fine like sand that I don't even see...

What is the best litter to use for odor control? I've been using ExquisiCat Pine, but although it smells piney-fresh itself, it's not very good at controlling odor. My friend uses Cat Country (Which is also twice as expensive). Any recommendations?

I use Cat Country litter - it works really well! Keep in mind that most cat litters are clumping or clay-based and CANNOT be used for rabbits, but Cat Country is totally safe and works great.

So the answer is basically no then, right? Cuz my bed is pretty high of the ground, once they're on there I think they're stuck LOL.
