Does anybody have, or know where I can find a picture of a rabbit louse. I haven't been able to find one through Google.
I need to check that the unwanted creatures on some of the buns are rabbit lice and not red mites that I have been told they may be.
Red mites are the blight of chicken owners and if I have these in the rabbit sheds this is catastrophic news.
I am trying to keep calm about this in the knowledge that red mites do not lay eggs on chickens and hopefully therefore not on rabbits too. Therefore the egg seen on Nia cannot be from a red mite.
There is no evidence of red mites in the sheds so I am praying that we are only dealing with lice - unwelcome as that is.
If anyone can help put my mind at rest I would be eternally grateful.
Thank you,
A stressed bunny owner!
