the best cure for fur mites

Question
what is the best way to cure fur mites i've been lookingat some product but all the products i've looked at have said that they kill rabbits and my kids are so attached to the rabbits i wouldn't want them to die.

Answer
Dear Mary,

Please see:

for all the latest information on curing mites in rabbits.  Revolution (selamectin) is the best and safest.  DO NOT use Frontline (fipronil), as it can be deadly to rabbits.

You'll need a good rabbit vet to prescribe this medication:

Hope this helps.
