Apple Cider Vinegar Question

[Beekissed]

Distilled derives from malt vinegar....Wikipedia has a great article on the differences of each kind of vinegar. Who knows? Maybe just the acetic acid is the best health benefit.

I know that the mother vinegar has all those great probios that increase nutritient absorption capabilties of the GI tract, as well as helping the whole digestive process.

Myself? I love red wine vinegar the best for my own consumption and have even given it to my rabbits in a pinch and they loved it. Worked just as well as regular ACV.

I'm definately going to go buy some now. I just had a litter of 7 kits and 6 of them are boys! uggg. I also didn't realize that it was good for humans too! I have serious GI issues (eating rabbit meat is really a good thing for me) and I'm going to give it a try on myself and let my GI doc know how it goes. Switching to rabbit meat has helped immensely, one more step and I just might be close to normal in the digestive state! Whoot Whoot

Quick question, does anyone know if baby bunnies can drink apple cider vinegar in there water? How much would you put in?

 

[Beekissed]

Yes, they can and I wouldn't put so much in that they avoid drinking because of the taste. I always put just enough in to tint the water.

We only got one baby french lop in our first and only litter, but she has been drinking distilled vinegar in her water since she pooped out of the nest box and began drinking from the water bottle. In the 32 ounce bottle I put in something like 1 to 1 /2 teaspoons of vinegar. I don't measure either, I just poor a little in.

I started our unplanned litter of puppies on it when I first started offering them fresh water.

My daughter's rescue Boston Terrier came to her with really bad skin problems and allergies. He refused the vinegar water at first, so we added just a tiny bit at a time for him to get used to the flavor, then added more as time went on.

In my opinion, I think they get to where they really like the taste.

I am going to add to my water bottles right now! I was kind of nervous to put it in my Little gal Annabelle's bottle (she is 8 weeks old-american fuzzy-sooo cute!) But I will add it in small amounts for all my rabbits, and just keep on checking it to make sure they are drinking. Thanks for all your advice everyone!

How long do you put the vinegar in the water for if a rabbit has a skin problem? Days, weeks, months, or untill skin is cleared up?

If I were you I'd just plan on putting the vinegar in the water from now on. Indefinitely. Consider it just preventitive health maintenance and keep a jug handy where you fill your bottles and just put a glug in every time.
