Abstract

The use of a fur dye to obtain individual markings of the rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus (L.) is described. Patterns were distinctive even after 13 weeks' exposure, and, compared with ear disks, the efficiency and frequency of sightings was considerably increased.

Previous disk-marking techniques were modified to provide a larger (1 in.) tag used on both surfaces of the ear. No harmful effects were observed and recognition was improved.
