Hi,
What I do when I'm concerned about what to use on smaller animals is I call my Vet and just say I have a bunny and I saw fleas and what would they recommend that I use, that is safe?
They will be glad to help. I called and asked about a small squirrel, after I bathed him and got as many off as I could I asked them and was told I could use flea powder especially for kittens.
Sure hope ya get those nasty buggers off your bunny, let us know how ya do!

I know alot of people use the kitten advantage. I have never used it myself. I know you can't use frontline and I don't trust anything sold in stores. Does your bunny go outside? Maybe you can brush it with a flea comb before bringing it in. Do you treat your cats and dogs with frontline or something? It decreases the amount of fleas in your house/yard considerably after awhile. That could help your bun.
