softner salt works just as good. it keeps the parasites like the worms down and can help the rabbits have a extra litter. i always take a coffee can full and every place we jump a rabbit i plac a small pile for them

I go through my briars and honeysuckle throw a hand full let it sift down to the ground,that way the deer don`t tend to hang around and lick it like a mineral block.
