How do I prevent my bunny from getting fleas and ticks in the spring?

Preventing fleas and ticks on your bunny in the spring can be done by following these steps:

1. Keep your bunny indoors as much as possible, especially during peak flea and tick seasons.

2. Regularly groom and check your bunny for any signs of fleas or ticks. Look for small black dots (flea feces) or actual pests on their fur.

3. Wash your bunny's bedding, toys, and living area regularly to prevent infestations.

4. Use a veterinarian-approved flea and tick preventative treatment specifically designed for rabbits. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully.

5. Keep your yard and outdoor areas well-maintained, including mowing the lawn and removing any tall grass or brush that may harbor fleas and ticks.

6. Avoid taking your bunny to areas with high flea and tick populations, such as wooded areas or tall grassy fields.

By taking these precautions, you can help protect your bunny from fleas and ticks in the spring and ensure they stay healthy and happy.
