Worming Meat Rabbits

[lovinglife]

Hi, I am just wondering how many worm their meat rabbits. Specifically does used for breeding. I feed a lot of greens from the field and am thinking it might be a good idea to put them on a regular worming schedule, or at least once a year. Those of you who do worm, what and how much do you use.

Thanks!
Michele

You may need to search to find how much and when. But I believe some use ivermectin - a pea size amount orally - is one way I think I've seen, repeated - I can't remember # of x's over what period. I don't believe ivermectin targets all worm either, and depending on type another wormer may be needed. A fecal flotation from a vet could determine the type of worms present. I know this has been discussed before and you can find more details in those earlier posts.
