Fleas
Fleas aren’t a common occurrence for your floppy-eared friends, but when they do occur, spot-on treatments are the way to go!

Household flea sprays may also be used but you must read the safety instructions on the back to make sure that it’s safe to use with rabbits.
Worms
Rabbits aren’t often burdened with worms, but out of all of the different kinds, they’re most likely to pick up pinworms or tapeworms. In most cases, treatment won’t be given unless the worms have made your bunny sick. The treatment provided in this case is anti-parasitic injections or medications, which your local vet can prescribe. A worm diagnosis is often confirmed through a faeces test by your vet and it’s super important to decontaminate your bunny’s living and grazing areas!
How do you prevent it?
