 Yes, but you need to be very careful. Rabbits are hind-gut fermenters and we don’t want to do anything to cause an imbalance or damage to the good bacteria. This bacteria is very important for digesting their food. Rabbits are very susceptible for digestive issues if that bacterial balance is interrupted with things like antibiotics and other things which may harm the good bacteria. Strong Essential Oils such as Cinnamon, Oregano, Clove, Melaleuca, and others may cause an imbalance and caution must be used if you are using those oils around your rabbits for whatever reasons. If you must use these oils around your rabbits, please give extra probiotics to help support their gut, but try to avoid and rather seek the help of a professional.
Rabbits love citrus oils some of the more soothing oils such as Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Helichrysum, and Frankincense. Water diffusing is recommended for around rabbits. If you need to give oils in water, please only use 1 drop per 4 litres of water. However, with this said, I would also recommend that you seek the advice of a qualified Veternirian or someone who is trained and certified in Aromatherapy for Animals for further advice. For topical applications: Please check in with your Veterinarian first. |
