Fur Mites: Fur mites gather round the head, back and shoulders. Signs include red flaky skin and crusty deposits. They are not as irritating as fleas so scratching is not seen much. *TIP* you can give rabbits ivermectin 1.87% wormer for horses, give a pea size dollop on the paw (the rabbit will lick it off) and repeat 10 days later. This is not text book, i cannot guarantee it will work, and it may not be compatible with your rabbit. It works for both ear and fur mites.

Ear Mites (Inside the ears): The ears on bunnies (especially lops) is great for mites to hide so check regularly. Symptoms include red patches and sores, brownish patches and head shaking. Your bunny will scratch the ears too. Do not try to scrape the crusts off, instead use olive/mineral oil to soften the crusts then a few later wipe the ear with cotton wool. *TIP* like fur mites you can treat ear mites with ivermectin paste 1.87%,give a pea size dollop on the paw (the rabbit will lick it off) and repeat 10 days later but it is not text book so if you don't want to do this take the bunny to the vet.

Ringworm: Despite what the name may suggest ringworm is not a parasite but a fungal infection. Ringworm causes loss of fur in circular patches. The skin will become scaly, inflamed and itchy. In young rabbits ringworm usually affects the legs and feet but in older rabbits it can affect any area of the body. Ringworm can be passed onto humans so handle infected rabbits wearing gloves. Take your rabbit to the vet for treatment and ask for a safe disinfectant to use to clean the rabbits environment. Ringworm spores can survive for a long time so to help prevent the problem recurring keep your rabbits home and accessories very clean.
