Ok, either the little bastards came in on the hay we gave momma bunny for bedding, or she brought them from the shelter, or I got them from someone else with pets. In any case, I've seen 1 on her and one on a baby. I've looked-up several chemicals; Advantage and Revolution being the only ones safe for rabbits. I also looked-up natural remedies such as adding a 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar to the water bottle, some garlic powder to the food, and some lavender oil or crushed bay leaves behind the ears. I'm trying the vinegar and garlic powder with momma bunny and put a little lavender on her and sprinkled some around the cage after I vacuumed. I'm trying the garlic powder and bay leaves with a 2nd pregnant female we have in the house just to be safe. I'm going to look for flea powder for the carpet and try to find animal-safe solutions for outside, because our yard was overgrown so badly when we moved into our house that it seems to be a haven for flies, chiggers, gnats and you name it! Also going to pick-up some fly bait&killer.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I haven't seen any fleas around the house, just one on my arm after I brushed momma bunny. I can't get a flea comb through her fur, and the babies don't really have any to comb so I tried to crush the fleas I found on them. I'm a little paranoid because I HATE FLEAS!!! I'm itchy just typing this!
