I have just got back from taking Tess to the vets for her myxi vac and when i was there, the vet suggested that i start treating them for fleas as a preventative measure because we get so many foxes in our garden. trouble is he said it would need repeating every month and costs £16 a pop. With 2 rabbits, that is going to cost me £38 every month. being a poor student, i wanted to see if you guys thought this would be a worthwile thing to do or if i should just rely on the vaccine?

oooo that stuff looks really good. I assume there would be no problem if they ingested it? What with mutual grooming.
same goes with all products i guess. Was it bob martins that someone had problems with when their rats groomed one another? I'm sure i read something something along these lines in another post.
