Fleas and worms can be cause a range of health problems for your bunny, from irritating skin conditions to serious digestive issues, and may even result in infestations within your home.
Rabbits are particularly vulnerable, as parasites can be picked up from everyday environments such as hay, grass, or anywhere your pet explores, both inside and outside the garden.
For the long-term health and wellbeing of your rabbit and your family, regular prevetative treatments are vital. Protecting against common parasites throughout your rabbit's life ensures they stay happy, healthy, and parasite-free.
REMEMBER: that prevention is much easier and cost-effective than cure.

Can Rabbits Get Fleas From Hay?
Yes, while hay itself does not typically carry fleas, it can definitely harbor flea eggs, larvae, or pupae if it has been stored in areas where infested animals, such as wild rabbits or rodents, have been present. Fleas are more commonly transmitted through direct contact with other animals or contaminated environments, but bringing in untreated hay from outside could introduce fleas into your rabbit’s living space.
