Can Rabbits get Fleas?


 
Rabbits can be prone to fleas whether they live outdoors in a hutch or indoors in a nice plush cage. If you have other pets in the home then they could bring in fleas to your indoor rabbit. It’s important to make sure all of your pets are treated for fleas and ticks to avoid spreading them to your rabbit and even to yourself. Rabbits outdoors could get fleas or ticks simply because they are outdoors. You can help protect your rabbit by keeping his cage clean and always be on the lookout for signs of fleas. If your rabbit does get fleas, talk to your vet about ways to get rid of the fleas. Do not use store bought flea shampoo or people shampoo unless directed by your vet. Some rabbit owners use homemade remedies of half rabbit shampoo and half vinegar or a spray of half water and half vinegar. Talk to your trusted animal hospital San Antonio TX to learn more.
