Just wondering what everyone does about mosquitoes. I was talk to a friend and she said if a bunny gets bitten by a mosquito they die. Is this true?? And if it is what do u guys do about it? Thanks!!

Oh my...Is she over cleaning? Does baby have somethin wedged in that area like hay or a poopy foot she may be trying to get? Or a small cut that left a scab she keeps opening?

Do you think lightly wrapping it would help or upset mama? Maybe wrap it til it heals if its cut?

Is there a breed section for rabbit like there is for chickens?

I use fans in the rabbitry and make sure weeds and grass are kept short. I also make sure there's no standing water, especially here where we get a lot of showers.
Mosquitos can carry any array of diseases and yes some can be harmful. They can also transfer some diseases from ill stock to healthy stock. But in general, with a healthy herd, no a mosquito bite should not cause a rabbit to drop dead. Keeping the numbers down as low as possible helps prevent other issues as well.
Vanilla tree car fresheners work well in the chicken coops too as a deterrent.

We've taken the plunge and ordered a tattoo kit...
We have a few pedigree-able litters on the way as well as one growing out now so I want my herds all marked properly. Now I have to figure out a number/letter system that I like! In the next 10 days or so

Thanks for information. I contacted a nearby 4-H rabbit project leader, but no response yet. If they can't, I'll go on craigslist and see if I can find a reputable rabbitry.

I know mosquitoes hate dryer sheets. I put them around my porch to keep them away or you could plant lemon grass but I don't know if that's safe around bunnies...
