The four buns we got in yesterday have fleas and they are definitely rabbit fleas as they are congregating in their ears, little blighters! They have been in isolation since they came in so the other buns are safe.

What do other rescues use to get rid of rabbit fleas?
 
Auntie Lynda :D we get done twice a year with Advantage or xenex ultra :oops: :oops: :oops: and this keeps the little blighters away :D
 
Thanks Scoot, we have advantage in the first aid box but I can't remember the dosage :? All buns are under 2kg, any idea?
