Question
hey i have 2 rabbits and recently thay have been itching themselves not alot but more than they always have. i checked for fleas but they look normal and checked for mites their skin is normal but i could see tiny white things coming out when i scratch for them and i think they have mites. i just bought flea and tick control from a pet store and plan on using it. do u think i should if not please help me cuz i cannot take them to a vet. any treatment?

Answer
Treatment that is safe for kittens is safe for rabbits, but do not use products for dogs. If you follow the directions on a product that is safe for kittens, it should take care of it. The cage and anywhere the rabbits have been will need to be treated, too, however.
