Guest guest Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 Here's some info on Bunnies and Rats and Tea Tree ingestion. " The acute toxcicity (rabbit dermal LD 50 and rat oral LC 50) for the major terpenic compounds (linalool, ocimene, alpha-terpinene, 1,8-cineole, terpinolene, camphene) ranges between 2 and 5 g/kg body weight, which is considered a moderately toxic range. From a toxicologic standpoint melaleuca oil can be compared to oil of turpentine, which is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and skin. " for more info see: http://www.exoticbird.com/gillian/teatree.html Also, in case you forget, Rabbit are NOT Rodents! Totally different Order. Rabbits are Lagomorpha, while rats and mice are Rodentia Something of a different Order is pretty high up. FWIW, David Roman SBC DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! Quote

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2003 Report Posted July 6, 2003 Sandra, I am collecting info on AT and rabbits. I would very much appricate if you would write me, off-line if you want, and tell me how you used EO's on rabbits. Oh, I have a Jersey Wolly, (sort of a mini angora) how cool that you spin! Do you raise English, French, or Giant (german).

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2003 Report Posted July 6, 2003 I just put a few drops in there ears straight please don`t tickle me{:> they hate the smell but it never seemed to bother them, It really is a shame we can`t use it on our dogs I bet it would be a great flea replellant. I love my bunnies they are beautiful animals I have English right now but have had them all the Giants are the best for there wool, but english are the prettiest.
