Frequent itching.

Question
I have an outdoor rabbit and he is itching and shaking his head more than usual. Do you think he has fleas?

Answer
Hi Dylan,

It could be fleas, mites or an allergy of some sort.  If it was fleas you would probably see them.  I would treat him with Revolution and that will take care of it.  I would also schedule an appointment with a rabbit savvy vet to have him looked over.  If you do not already have a vet you can find one here:

Good luck
