Hello lovely bunny parents!  I have a question for you all: what sort of flea & tick shampoo/spray do you use on your bunnies (if any at all)?  I realize this is a predominantly house rabbit society, however my rabbit IS mostly a house rabbit.  He goes outside regularly in his “run” and I sit with him and read a book while he runs around and munches grass and has a fabulous time.  We’ve recently had a lot of rain in my part of the country and I think that’s how he picked them up.  I grew up in the desert and was ignorant about ticks and fleas – these were pests our dogs got if we took them to a swamp or a river – they didn’t live in our backyard.  I cleaned his area well and can use diatomaceous earth in his play area (while he’s not there), but what do I use on him?

Have any of you used shampoo or sprays before on your rabbits?  Is there a DIY solution I can make?  I have exhausted all of the “pet stores” and “vet supplies” and “pet supply stores” in my area and may have to wait until I drive out of town (2+ hours) to get to the store to get professional solutions.  I could also order something online.  I’m very reluctant to use anything NOT specific to rabbits.

Thanks guys and here’s hoping I get some suggestions on a solution to use.
