It is a little on the expensive side but it works like a miracle and can be used on so many different animals for so many different things, it is definatly a good investment. Good luck with the...

    Castor Oil and Rabbits

    I have a doe that was due to have her babies today, she has pulled tons and tons of hair but no babies. Should I just wait a couple of days? I know that Castor Oil is used in putting animals into labor, does anyone know if it is safe for rabbits, and if it works to put them into labor?
