Happy Hopping
Wise Old Thumper
My very first rabbit, 6.5 yr. ago, the breeder told me there is no need to clean their ears.
But I did it anyway, and it took me 40+ cotton swab to get rid of all those greasy oil inside her ear. they are a light to medium brown color.
My 2nd rabbit, never had those light - medium brown color oil. Instead, she has waxy stuff build up inside her ear, and has to be cleaned by cotton swab or cat cleaner.
My 3rd rabbit, never had any of the above. In fact, after he passed away, I routinely cleaned his ear before the cremation, and there is almost no dirt like the above inside his ear.
Rather, w/ my 3rd rabbit, there is white powder along the "trackmark" of the exposed part of his ear. You know there is a long track mark that is slightly fold around the mid way point of a rabbit ear, and it extended all the way. Along the folded part of the trackmark hiding behind the ear, there are those white powder.
By cleaning the inside of his ear in the past 4.5 yr. once a mth., there are also those white powder at the hole.

why is the dirty stuff inside all my rabbits' ear so different?
Is it true you don't have to clean rabbit ear?
