How do we take our fleas out of a rabbit?

id call a vet and ask themHow do we take our fleas out of a rabbit?
Rabbits have skin more sensitive than dogs and cats, and therefore do NOT recommend using Frontline. If you visit your local pet store (i.e. Petsmart), they carry rabbit safe shampoos and flea medication. Rabbits normally do not need to be shampooed, but a flea comb may not get rid of all the fleas since their fur is thick. I also recommend spraying your house with a pet safe flea killer so your rabbit does not get reinfected.How do we take our fleas out of a rabbit?
Get some kitten flea POWDER, cut it with Baby Powder and rub in well to the fur.
get some flea shampoo made for cats..[NOT dogs] and bathe the bunny
a flea comb works best! you can also put a little drop of frontline on the back, but not too much!
Find a rabbit savvy vet to talk to. A lot of the products on the market for dogs and cats can easily be fatal to rabbits. Their systems are much more delicate than a dogs or cats.

You're in trouble. Once your fleas get lost in a rabbit, it's almost impossible to get them back again. Good luck.
