While those nice unwashed folks that send me death threats over by rabbit video will probably hate this article, I am going to share with you how and why I tattoo my rabbits.
I raise nice white meat rabbits, and even though I mess with them daily, I cannot tell them apart. Most days it doesn’t make much of a difference, but trying to keep records about who has had medication, which one is due for breeding, and keeping track of all the important things a responsible breeder needs to know would be much easier if they were easily identified. I found a solution for this from the show side of rabbit production.
If you plan on showing your rabbits you need to know that the American Rabbit Breeders Association show rules mandate that a clear and readable tattoo be present in every rabbit exhibited in a sanctioned show. This is important to be able to prevent lowlifes from stealing your rabbit, or switching their looser rabbit for the champion rabbit you spent so much time on. Personally I have no interest in showing rabbits, but I am not going to pull a Zumbo and belittle someone for keeping a rabbit for a slightly different purpose than mine when we both agree on much of the basics.
If you’re like me an never plan on showing your rabbit, it does not really matter which ear you choose to tattoo, but if you ever show your animal, you need to know that identifying tattoos need to be in the left ear. This is because championship identifiers are tattooed in the right ear. Personally I stick with this standard because it is easy, all my rabbits are marked in the same place, and well you just never know if I turn showing rabbits into a new hobby…
Some breeders use a complex system where one letter is for the father and the next for the mother with additional numbers being for litters, relationship to the litter and sex. Others have a system where the numbers are meaningless and are only identifiers The possibilities are endless and by developing a unique system, it is possible to ascertain the animals identity in great detail should his written records get lost. Personally for my set up My male is number 1 and is kept in the leftmost cage, the female to his right is #2, the next #3, and the doe on the right most side is #4 — I don’t tattoo my babies as they are going to be eaten at about the time they get large enough to tattoo. When I replace a breeder rabbit, the replacement gets the number of the rabbit it is replacing….
The way it works is not unlike primitive tattooing on humans. The skin of the ear is penetrated with needles. Ink is rubbed into the holes, and once healed leaves a permanent mark. To make a legible mark and to reduce the stress on the animal as much as possible a special tattoo clamp has been designed. Basically it is a large plier with one side being a rubber backer, and the other leg holding special alpha-numeric needle block. When you place the clamp on the ear and squeeze it punches the ear to allow inking.
Besides the recommendation that the tattoo being placed in the LEFT ear, there are some other placement considerations you need to be aware of. The tattoo should be deep enough in the ear to avoid any hair around the fringe of the ear. This is because this hair will often impair the legibility of the mark. You also need to take care to avoid the vein that runs down the ear as well as any other large blood vessels. Shine a strong flashlight through the ear and you can see them. If you accidently puncture one of the vessels it may cause above average bleeding, but it should not cause any long term harm to the animal and will usually stop bleeding in a short time. Place the tattoo clamp correctly though, and you will have little or no bleeding. Proper tattoo inks contain alcohol to aid in healing and help prevent infection should some bleeding occur. Do not rely on the alcohol in the ink to take the place of proper clinical principles.
The procedure is simple:
Clean the area with an alcohol swab to remove any oil and dirt that is in the ear. This will not only assure a clean site to insure fast healing, but also helps make the final result a clearer mark.
The tattoo should be placed in the ear so that it is readable when the ear is opened and looked at from the left side of the animal. By positioning the animal with the nose to your left, you will insure that the mark will be readable from that position when finished. Many rabbit tattoo sets will only allow the digits to be placed into the tool “”right side up”", so you will not be able to make the mark that is upside down when tattooing from the left side of the animal.
