Some of the bunny gang.
(The Lil one knows the assignment everytime)

Remember bunnies are alot of work and need lots of room to run and play. They should be fixed to prevent babies and different types of cancers.
Not all rabbits get along and some will fight causing nasty bites. So before getting a rabbit make sure your ready for a sassy ball of energy

This is a great post from another great rescue.

Treating your Tortoises for Parasites

Always consult your Exotic Vet before treating your tortoise!

A light worm load of most species of worms is not harmful to a tortoise but a heavy worm load will need treatment.

It is a good idea to get a tortoise faecal sample checked on a yearly basis to determine if any treatment is needed, and new tortoises should be tested for worms as a matter of routine.

The best time of the year to get a faecal sample checked is in July (or if you suspect an infestation) as worming treatments compromise your tortoise's immune system, and treating it this time of the year allows the immune system to return to normal before brumation begins.

Testing for worms is done by examining a faecal sample under a microscope to determine the presence of live worms and eggs.

Fresh samples are best, but if necessary you can collect a sample the day before your vet appointment and keep it in sealed container in the fridge. If you are sending a sample off in the mail for a worm count test, try to avoid mailing it on a weekend or holiday, as the sample should be as fresh as possible.

Panacur (Fenbendazole) is the most commonly used drug to treat roundworms, whipworms, hookworms, giardia and some tapeworms in tortoises.

It works by disrupting the cellular transport and metabolism systems of the parasite, which results in diminishing the parasite's energy reserves and ability to eliminate waste, and it then dies.

The medicine is only effective on live worms/parasites and not on any eggs that may be present, so it is common to administer it again after a short period of time during which any eggs that were originally present could have hatched.

Please Note: Ivermectin (Ivomec) and Albendazole (both of which are commonly used to worm dogs, cats and other mammals) are highly toxic to tortoises and have been known to cause fatalities within a short period of time, so always check which medicine your vet is prescribing.

During the course of treatment for worming, good hygiene is essential to prevent your tortoise from becoming reinfected.

Remove and dispose of all substrate from his/her indoor enclosure and clean it well. Then replace the substrate with newspaper which can be easily removed and replaced every day.

It is a good idea to soak your tortoise daily, to encourage a bowel movement that can be easily disposed of to avoid reinfection.

If your tortoise has access to the outdoors, then do your best to remove faeces from the ground so that parasites are not transferred to plants or grass and reingested, and if possible put your tortoise in a sectioned-off area that can easily be hosed down.

Eggs cannot be seen without a microscope and a heavy presence of eggs would indicate that treatment is necessary, but a heavy load of worms can sometimes be seen with the naked eye.
