  Hello everyone!
  
  I saw some dandruff looking crust under my buns fur and hes been having ALOT of fur loss which im assuming are fur mites. I saw this flea treatment for cats and in the reviews someone mentioned using it for their rabbits and it seemingly worked. would it be safe for my bun to treat the fur mites.

  Advantage II is safe to use. However, if your bunny has fur mites, it would be ineffective against them. Fur mites need to be treated with Ivermectin or selamectin (e.g. Revolution).
  
  Do not use any products containing fipronil (e.g. Frontline) on a rabbit. It’s toxic to them.

  What LBJ10 mentions is correct. Please see here for information on the different types of mites and how they each require different treatments: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Mites
  
  At-home treatment for mites is not advised due to guidance needed for actually distinguishing the correct cause (ex. it could be syphilis or fungal infections; not mites) as well as appropriate medication, dosage, and treatment length.
