It is so frustrating because the wait seemed to take forever. I am waiting to shift into the new place so that I can start on building some neat shelves to accommodate the rabbits. I have roughly planned out the waste management system and that will help me eliminate the use of litter materials. Getting rid of the need for litter materials will help me save a lot in the long run. It will not only save my pocket from running dry, but it will also stop contributing to global warming indirectly.
Other than that, nothing much seemed to be happening in the rabbitry but I am hoping for many interesting happenings once we shift the herd over to the new place.
The herd will first go through a rigorous fur mites elimination regime before we can actually bring them over to the new place. Stay tuned for more interesting postings.
BTW, I noticed that my blog stats is showing a decline in the number of visitors. I guess people just got all they need and have decided to quit coming back. Well, I hope not!
Tru-Luv Rabbitry: Quality Holland Lops in Malaysia 
1)”fur mite” how to get rid of them ?
2) when the rabbits roam freely this garden, does this attract mite or
” tick ” ?
kindly help.
Hi George,
Malaysian rabbits are most susceptible to fur mites and flea. Kindly go to a vet and look at a strand of the fur under the microscope to identify the exact parasite. If it is confirmed to be fur mite/flea, the doctor will normally administer Ivermectin (0.32 mg per kg) under the skin for ADULT rabbit. Do this for 4 consecutive weeks, 1 jab per week. Make sure you get a rabbit savvy vet (I usually recommend Subang Animal Centre or Hasmeal @ Kota Damansara). Ivermectin administered wrongly can be fatal.
Good luck and you may want to limit the compound that your rabbit roams. If the environment is filled with parasite, it would not be a good long term measure to be administering the drug. Keep the environment clean from parasite first. Prevention is better than cure.
Note: I am not a vet therefore, do refer to your regular vet for consultation.
