You can clean the hutch with the hutch cleaner (check the ingredient-list, some cleaners that contain pesticides  can require very good airing out before the hutch is lived in). I cleaned my buns living area with (hand-) dishwashing liquid and water and vinegar.

The most important thing is to treat the bun with Revolution repeatedly. Repeat treatment should be done after 8-14 days. This will kill newly hatched mites that were eggs during the first treatment round. For bad infestations, a third round can be needed.

My bun never got mites again. He had two rounds of treatment, I washed his fabric stuff in the washing machine, put his wooden toys in the freezer for 72 hours and ran his food bowls, waterbottles etc in the dishwasher.

Fur mites are common in rabbits, but its not something we do routine treatment to prevent. The bun as a rule gets the mites from the mother, and the mites then coexist with the bun, in numbers so low that they don’t cause any problem. The bun’s immune defense keeps the numbers low.

Young buns (and humans and dogs etc) don’t have a mature immune defense, which means the mites already present on the bun, under certain circumstances, can be given the chance to multiply enough to become a problem. It’s not a sign of poor health or anything, and the mites are highly sensitive to Revolution, so they are as a rule not difficult to get rid of.

You can help your bun by brushing her a day or so after you’ve given her the Revolution. There will be more dandruff at that point, because the mites are dying off and the skinflakes where they have been living come loose and fall off. It’s obviously best to do the brushing in the bathroom or similar, easy-to-clean, space.
