In the wild, rabbits run about in clean fields and woods, but in captivity they often have to put up with urine-soaked straw under their feet in confined living quarters. It really is only fair to ensure that their cages are kept clean and fresh. Urine and feces that are allowed to rot because bateria and all their attendent problems, so clean your rabbits cage out regularly and put the hay up off the floor, where it can be taken as feed. Dried herbs on the bottom of the cage stops maggots from breeding. Flies spread myxomatosis, a manmade disease that was devised to control the wild rabbit population. This is another reason to prevent flies and maggots in the cage.
Sniffles and cold affect rabbits. Use Eucalyptus Globulus, Peppermint, or Tea Tree on the fur--chest and back. Also wash the cage out in water that has had Tea Tree or Eucalyptus Globulus added -- this will also put an end to the flies.
Canker can affect rabbits in the same way as cats and dogs. Apply to the affected ear a little olive oil to which 1 drop of True Lavender has been added. Tea tree can also be used and helps to prevent any infection from the scratching.
When using essential oils on people or animals, it's important to use the purest quality available. There is a true clinical grade (medical grade) available at:
