BENEFITS OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR TO RABBITS 🐰

DOSAGE: Add 1 - 2 teaspoons of Apples Cider Vinegar(ACV) per 1 gallon of clean water and give it daily or few times a month.

• ACV helps reduce the ammonia smell of rabbit urine.

• Prevents urinary tract problems like bladder sludge (from excess calcium), reducing infections because the organisms can not live in acidic urine.

• Keeps the body pH regulated, clearing up any skin infections or weepy eyes.

• Increases the nutrient absorption capabilities of the G.I. tract as well as helping the whole digestive process.

• Boosts fertility rates and may result in more female kits in a litter.

• Makes the does more willing to breed.

• Makes rabbits unattractive to fleas and mites by making the rabbit”smell” off, making it a great repellent.

• Extensive historical use and veterinary studies indicate that apple cider vinegar added to feed or water can cure a mastitis infection and reduce the transmission rates of the bacteria.

• One part vinegar and one part water can be sprayed on [any pet’s] fur and rubbed in generously to the skin. Saturate the entire coat, and continue every day for a few days to a week; any flea infestation will disappear.

• Can be used as a cleaner for cages and crocks as well as keeping the green algae from growing in water bottles in the summer.

• Known for keeping fur softer and shinier.

• If bringing your rabbit to a show or transporting them, ACV water will taste the same as the water from home no matter what tap you use.

• Rabbits like the taste of ACV and drink more water, resulting in better hydrated rabbits.

• It’s safe to give to pregnant does, great for rabbits at any life stage.

• Adding ACV to water changes the pH level of the water, lowering the freezing point of water (a handy benefit when you live in the mountains at 8,000 ft. elevation!).

Let's have a convo about "tight crowns" vs "winter ears"

Cadbury on the top left, has a tight crown.
The other 3 are his kits that I have retained & do NOT have a tight crown.

Winter ears are a REAL thing.
Every bunny is different on when their ears lop. It can take up to 6 months and sometimes a year! There is truly no way to guarantee as babies.

A bunny that has lost all ear control by 4 weeks typically ends up with a slipped crown and longer ears.

A bunny that is tense, and stressed may raise their ears and hold them tighter. A relaxed bunny, will hold them in their resting place....relaxed.

It just now hit spring time, and every single one of my bunnies from the last 6-12 weeks, have had winter ears & all are finally lopping with the warmer days!
The cold does cause their ears to take longer to lop. My Rabbitry is in a barn. They are exposed to every temperature. So when it's cold, their ears are straight up & they end up taking longer to lop.

In March, I had 8 babies hop on transport. I believe every one of them had winter ears still! And every one of them within a week of leaving, have fully lopped ears!

A bunny with a tighter crown will never have fully lopped ears.

When you have a bunny with a tight crown, you pair them with another bunny that can use a better crown. Which is why I used Cadbury as a sire where I did! I don't think any of his kits from any of his litters ended up with tight crowns, I believe they have all lopped including the ones that I retained.

As for my rabbits, you can click on my photos at any point in time and see every single rabbit in my Rabbitry! I keep them all up to date, and take photos often. 🫶🏻
