I bought some of this stuff ages ago but have been too scared to use it :lol: Me and the bunnies are moving in with my parents on Thursday though who have a cat and I don't want them to be exposed to fleas or any sort of icky parasite. Is this stuff ok to use as a preventative thing? The rabbits have been scratching alot the last couple of weeks but the vet says he can't see anything on them. I'm just a bit worried I'll end up burning their skin or something. It also says not to use on sick animals and both rabbits have snuffles, again the vet says they'll be fine but i just need some reassurance! :lol:
 
Personally, I wouldn't use it. Far better to treat the cat who is far more likely to pick up fleas than the bunnies. If you keep the cat fleakie-free then there's no need to treat the bunnies.

Is it not safe to use when they don't have any parasites? The cat is treated so I'm sure they'll be fine, I just wanted to be extra cautious. But I'll probably hold off for now then if that's better. Thanks

I know people who have used that on rabbits, but personally I wouldn't use it unless I had to ..
