I hope David see's this one. I would NEVER use an oil on a bunny. I've had a

few (bunnies) and I just wouldn't wanna mess... David could give you better

reasons than I.

2nd of all, tea tree + ears = Pain! Lots of pain for poor bunny, dog, cats

(who should NEVER have oils used on them) etc especially if used undiluted. I

know, I've done it to them when I was ignernt and hadn't learned any better.

As a general rule, oils are okay on dogs if the amount of eo is right, for a

Toy Poodle, I would use 1/8th of a drop of oil per tablespoon of carrier...

for tea tree. Different amounts for different oils.

And David, if you do read this, I have a question for you. Christmas time I

was told that Bunnies born during the winter period were weaker (genetically)

than Bunnies born in spring... Sounded like a bunch of rubbish to me... but I

thought I'd ask....

Cheers!
