best dewormer???

So this morning I found a small worm in Regulus' poop. It was pretty easy to identify as a pinworm. The rest of his poop is normal, his weight is fine, he doesn't seem to be in any discomfort- in fact, the only real symptom he's showing is an itchy butt (though I'm unsure if that's because of the worms or not, because he grooms himself religiously, lol).
I don't have money for a vet visit right now, can anyone recommend a good dewormer? I've researched a bit and so far the best options look like Panacur or Safeguard paste.
 
Pinworms aren't really a problem for bunnies so I wouldn't recommend anything unless you feel sure it is upsetting your bunny then have a word with the Vet.

Welcome to the Forum :wave:

If it were my bunny I would do 9 days of Panacur. The worms should start dying after day 3.
