Our sweet sunshine bunny, Hazel, is housed in a bunny condo on our lanai. We live in Hawaii, so the weather is amazing, mostly 70-80 degrees, and at night maybe 55-60 degrees if that.
Our lanai is bunny-proofed and enclosed. She has full run of it with open bunny condo for about 8-9 hours a day so she can do bunny 500 spins in her playpen and run through her tunnel at her heart’s content. At night, we keep her condo all secured.
She’s a purebred Lop, 12 weeks old, and grooms herself incessantly, like a cat. I let her out every morning to clean her little condo and restock food and water. She is given Timothy Hay unlimited day and night, a small measure of Timothy Hay-based pellets, and some greens at night.
But I’ve been seeing tiny mites in her litter pan, sometimes a little flea here and there, and these other tiny tan bugs with wings. It’s not every day I see this, but enough for concern. I don’t get it since I clean it daily, empty her litter pan, spray it down with vinegar, and switch the pan with another that was cleaned the day before. My only guess is that it could be coming from the hay???
How do I stop this, and what flea treatment can I give her, and what bug treatment can be safely used for her home??
