Advice for flea treatment for Harvey & Lolli please

Hi all.

I was wondering if anyone can help me. As I mentioned in previous posts, I have 2 bunnys now. Harvey is a dwarf lop and Lolli is an Albino Lionhead. They bonded immediately and have been living in the same hutch since they met.

My husband and I are going on holiday soon and Harvey and Lolli will be going into boarding. The place is lovely and I have no complaints but we always like to ensure there is no risk of catching fleas.

Usually (before we had Lolli) we would use a flea ointment (I am sure it is Spot On). Normally you put the drops on the back of their neck so that they can't lick it off and when Harvey was on his own, this method was fine but now, I am worried that if we do this on both of them they will lick t from each other as it takes a good couple of hours to dry in.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I used this last year when some of my fostered fabbits who were not ready for vaccination and we discovered myxie in the rabbits living opposite me.
