What We've Learned and Continue to Learn!!!

Mites

So I've finally gotten the website set up after  8 months, but like everything else in my life it's a work in progress. We (mom and I) are hopeful that what we put up is helpful to those just starting out, and those that have been involved with rabbits for a while will comment so we can all learn a little more. 

I guess the first thing I want to talk about is Mites, they may be small but they are mighty that's for sure...I was wondering there for a while if I was actually allergic to these wonderful little bunnies.  But I've found that it is only those under a year that when shearing I seem to get bitten.  I'm making the assumption it's because we hadn't vaccinated them with Ivermectin yet (partly because I'm terrified of needles and I don't want to hurt them). However I can tell you after the fourth time of feeling like I'm being eaten alive (only on the side that I hold them on) these little darlings are now getting their shots.  I know there are some that disagree with this but I'm sure they are more comfortable and not scratching or matting their hair.

If you don't use Ivermectin I would love to know what/how you are able to deal with the mites. I personally would love to be able to keep anything unnecessary out of the rabbits.
