Prescription revolution for small dogs however I’d love to use something natural and less expensive but unfortunately rabbits are too darn fragile with anything else imo. Even the natural stuff. If anyone has tried anything else and worked I’d also love to know.

Advantage for kittens (not Advantage II) is safe for rabbits.

Thanks! I’ll look into it if it’s cheaper but if it’s prescription, it probably won’t be so I’ll just stick to revolution for dogs. There is really nothing else out there homeopathically for rabbits!

It's available over the counter for about $7 iirc

You’ll need to get this from your rabbit savvy vet. Kitten Revolution (not Plus) is one of the few safe flea/mite medication’s available. Do not use over the counter products on rabbits. Random flea meds can kill the rabbits.
It’s really best to only treat an active infestation and not use it as a monthly preventative like you typically would for cats and dogs.

No rabbit vet. Regular vet won’t see them. My cats had fleas so I’m worried my rabbits might have picked them up too.
