Greg, what do the metal leg bands look like? I have some metal bands for my chickens. I am trying to figure out how they would stay on their legs. I imagine my...
They are like the bird band, but way large - that's why I use screw type hose clamps - they can be fitted to each rabbit. I put them up past the hock joint so...
