Fleas

[Wabbitdad12]

The Advantage 9 I bought for my rabbits last year is now called Advantage II and has pyriproxyfen. Can the new formula be used?

I don't have an answer, but as a newbie this is an interesting thought - rabbits get fleas? :shock: Our new and only bun (we've had him less than two weeks) is outdoors and comes in on the really hot days right now. We are working on a way to move him indoors, but I am now freaked out about the flea thing!

All mammals can become a home for the little blood suckers.

Yes rabbits can get fleas, but they are very easy to treat. Kitten Advantage or Revolution are the two flea treatments that can be used on rabbits.

NEVER USE FRONTLINE ON RABBITS. Frontline flea treatment will harm rabbits, it will harm their nervous system and the bunny will be die from even one application.

My two rabbits had fleas and I treated them with Kitten Advantage, comes in orange box, for several months and the fleas are gone.

I have been using Advantage II for kittens on Hershey. He is fine. (The fleas are so fine though - gone!)
