  At home treatment is not recommended since you want professional guidance on the correct dosage for your rabbit. Please see a rabbit experienced exotic vet: rabbit.org/vet-listings
  
  See here for information on flea and what are safe and NOT safe treatments: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Fleas
  
  Note that you should NOT use Frontline or any medication with fipronil in it. It is highly toxic to rabbits.

  Revolution or Advantage are typically the go-to flea products for rabbits. And yes, you should have a vet advise you on dosage. If you’re in the US, you can’t buy Revolution over the counter anyway.
  
  And I will repeat Wick’s PSA… do not use any product containing fipronil on rabbits. It is toxic to them.
