Tea Tree Oil and questions regarding safe use in rabbits -- PLEASE READ Update and an Important note about tea tree oil: I have used tea tree oil in the past in the mineral oil to treat ear mites, but recently I've come across information indicating that it may be toxic for rabbits. I used it for its antimicrobial and antibiotic properties along with its insect repelling properties. The information is mixed and sometimes contradictory. I've found respected resources, such as Rise and Shine Rabbitry (author of Beyond the Pellet book and a resource I fall back on often), who use it and take no issue with its safety, other sites that recommend it and its safety, vets on sites who say it's probably toxic, vets on sites and sites who say it's definitely toxic, and a range of information in between. Unfortunately, I cannot find a good, solid university resource on the subject (share if you find one!). It seems that the issue is that if it is safe, it is only safe at very low concentrations and vets consider that in home use, that is difficult to measure, so their advice errs on the side of extreme caution, but likely rightly so. As with many things, tea tree oil is not often studied specifically for rabbits. Many medications and products that are used for rabbits are used "off label" because industry does not put money into this "less popular" livestock/pet animal. However, it has shown some toxicity in cats and dogs, anecdotal evidence and reported case studies, and rabbits are considered more sensitive to toxins than cats. I've used tea tree oil in the past without issue. It is always diluted in a carrier oil like the mineral oil, and this may be why it has not caused a problem for me. The oil may not kill your rabbits, but it may cause instability and upset and can potentially upset their systems enough to lead to problems that will (like digestive issues or not eating). Anecdotal reports are said to have caused immediate death following cage cleaning with tea tree oil (but this was apparently on a vet forum and was not linked at the source). Tea Tree oil may also be called melaleuca oil. The bottom line is this: Use tea tree at your own risk. For ear mites, it is the oil (mineral, coconut, olive, etc.) that smothers and kills the mites anyway, so it's easy enough to do away with the tea tree oil use. VetRx below would be a good replacement that does contain safe essential oils and does not contain tea tree. For a full list of products, please visit us at meatrabbits.org
