I have 4 house rabbits who are all moulting, and 2 of the buns have 'salt and pepper' moving specks on their fur :'(
I think they're some kind of mites from the hay (I've been told rabbits don't get lice?) but I don't know why only 2 of them have them. I've read their immune systems could be down if mites are showing - does moulting cause this? Do I need to buy different hay or will there always be mites and I can only see them because they've got out of control due to lower immunity?
I don't understand how immunity keeps mites under control anyway?
My rabbits have 8 different types of hay so it's going to be a pain knowing which caused it!!
