Answer
Kayla,

You will definitely make your bunny sick if you put a flea collar on it.  Advantage topical flea liquid is the only product considered safe for rabbits, and you should get the smallest dose possible and only use 1/2 the tube.  Oranges are too acidic and can give bunny diarrhea which is why you shouldn't feed them, carrots, apples (without seeds which are poisonous) leafy lettuce (but not iceberg lettuce) and spinach are OK treats.  Don't let her eat paper, it's made of wood and can back up her system.  Keep the spider plant away, it can give her the runs too.  If your bunny does get runny poop, take all pellets and treats away for a few days and feed her only hay and water until the poop gets firm again, then slowly introduce her pellets again and finally the treats if she's doing OK.  Good luck!
