not been on here for a while so i hope everyone is ok? my boys are doing great :D however, i got two little kittens yesterday(sooo cute!!) but they have brought visiters with them :? :x luckily i spotted them while the boys were still in the carrier, so i got some frontline spot on on the way back from collecting them and treated them as soon as i came in the door!

i bought a spray to do the house today(that should be fun, trying to move 31 animals around the house whilst spraying incesticide!! :shock: ) but im aware that bunnies can be effected by cat fleas :? the kittens have been kept downstairs and the bunnies are upstairs, but im wondering whether to treat the bunnies for fleas now? or just keep an eye on things?

i was also wondering if anyone can tell me if cat fleas can effect guinea pigs? or any other small animal for that matter! i know they can effect ratties too, but not sure about mice or hammies? dont want my whole zoo getting the little beasties!

*itch scratch itch scratch*
 
Hello! Not really sure what's the best thing to do, but just wanted to say please make sure you don't get the frontline anywhere near the rabbits as although it's brilliant for cats, it can kill bunnies! Hope you manage to eradicate your little visitors soon xx

hiya! thanks for that, though i already knew not to get the frontline by the bunnies-read it somewhere over the last 48 hours :lol: hope i get rid of the ******* soon too! :evil:
 
there is a cat coming into my garden close to my bunnys with fleas. The vet told me that they can live on the bunnys so I have treated them with Advantage which the vet gave me.
