Fleas on a rabbit cause itchy skin, so it bites and scratches often, leading to red, swollen skin, hair loss, and large rashes. Heavy flea loads can hurt its sleep and appetite, so deworm promptly.
Use a topical product with fipronil or selamectin, and keep the environment clean – change bedding regularly and thoroughly wash and disinfect the cage.
