He is very very sweet natured, he's just so calm and gentle. I'd never seen so many fleas either, his are the worst, both ears look like that and there's more fleas down at the base of the ears. All three other buns have them too but not to that extent.

Oh no, poor you, Amy. Do you know what it is? Nothing serious I hope.
When I got my little Flopsy (my very first bunny) she had fleas. I was horrified as I was a very squeamish back then! Snapped out of that one rather quickly. It's amazing what you'lldo for your bunnies isn't it?
Hope the fleas 'hop off' soon.

i think its stress
Just curious, do the jump as well? I know rabbit fleas are odd in that they congregate in little clans around the ears rather than crawl around alot. I can't find anywhere that says whether they still jump of they crawl from bun to bun when they're cuddling together in the burrow.
I think rabbit fleas are quite rare in pet rabbits, it tends to be cat fleas they are more likely to catch?
