fleas?

Question
Hello there! I have rescued rabbits for over 12 years and have had indoor and outdoor rabbits over the years. As a rescuer, I have always avoided breeding, only 3 weeks ago I ending up with my first babies. Gorgeous as they are, I suspect they have fleas, not a serious case however my flea/mite treatment states "not suitable under 12 weeks old" Any safer ideas?

Answer
Dear Kay,

The only anti-flea/mite medication we use is Revolution (selamectin), which you can get from your vet.  Advantage and Program are also safe for rabbits, but DO NOT use Frontline, as it can be deadly to them.
