In which ear is a rabbit's tattoo typically placed?

The tradition of tattooing a rabbit typically involves placing the tattoo in the left ear. This practice serves as a method of identification for rabbits, especially in competitive events or for breeding purposes. The left ear is specifically chosen so that it has a consistent location for tattooing across different breeds and individual animals, which helps maintain organization and record-keeping within rabbit shows and breeding programs. This consistency is important for judges and breeders who need to easily identify and track the rabbits.

While tattoos are essential for proper identification, other options, like placing them in the right ear or both ears, do not conform to the established standards in the rabbit community. Additionally, under the chin is not a common practice for tattoo placement, as it is less visible and can hinder effective tracking of the animal's pedigree and competition history.
