lice or mites? lice are usually people referring to fleas and crawly bits you can see, but mites you dont see you see the symptoms such as flakey skin. if was fleas you would see black dots (flea poo which will turn red on tissue and water) also the lice can come from hay so i would change any bedding fully and buy fresh stuff to prevent reinfection after treatment, i guess it depends on what the bunny does have
 
i dont no she said the vet said the rabbit was covered in lice then a later message said may have had lice il take them to vets see if any have any
 
Lice are completely different from mites and fleas. Lice run up and down their fur. They are easiest to see on a white rabbit and look like tiny red flecks. If you watch carefully you can see them moving. You really need keen eyes to see them thoguh.

I warn you, they are a ****** to get rid of.
