Hi Gypsy, 
Ivermectin 1.87 - a pea sized dollop of, and then another treatment 10 days later for eggs, is one solution.
That said, if your rabbit has a blue gene in it - i.e., blue eyes, bluefur, or some white bellied rabbits or white toed rabbits can have anadverse effect on medications as strong as Ivermectin.
Another alternative is to go with a kitten flea powder. Wash allbedding or anything the mites could attach to, and go by what thekitten flea powder instructs.
Keep us posted.

clover had fur mites a while back and we took himto the vet once a week for a month to have a jab that i think putsomething in his blood stream that put the mites off and killed them.
