TAGGING

I've read the banana thing, too. But there is a rabbit tattoo bag you put them into and only leave out the head and ears, helps hold them still. Could always practice on a banana peel on horseback or in a bumpy truck..lol.
 
how about a permanent marker in the ear? Could just makes shapes or colors to track litters.

I had the little buggers swaddled in a pillow case and wrapped and had the obligatory hole for the ear. It still doesn't stop them from flinching, which in turn causes me to flinch, which in turn makes a 1 look like anything from an L to a squiggle. If they were squeezed any tighter they'd pop. :ep Some would let you get several letters in with no problem and then on the 3rd character :barnie

I have tried this and you have to re-do it every day or every other day as it wears off due to them cleaning their ears....

I will do this for foster kits until their ears are old enough for a tattoo though.

I've never seen a tatooer that only does one letter at a time. Ours and the 4-H clubs will hold 4 or 5 letters/numbers.
 
I've got the pen type - similar to a human tattoo type - although the one I have resembles an electric tooth brush with a needle instead of brush and runs off batteries.. You must have the clamp type.

So, are you saying the pen type you have doens't work well?
