Although both flea sexes feed avidly and repeatedly on blood (a single male exception never feeds), they survive for various periods away from the host. The rabbit flea can live for nine months at temperatures around the freezing point without feeding.

The rabbit's digestive system is adapted to coping with high fibre foods such as hay, grass, root vegetables and herbage. Feeding a varied diet which takes some effort to eat helps relieve boredom, a factor that is especially important for hutched rabbits, and keeps their teeth in trim. As far as rabbits are concerned, the essential thing to remember is that good quality meadow hay should always be available.

Signs of worms in pet rabbits include unthriftiness, dull fur, diarrhea, cysts, and mucous or blood in the droppings. If you suspect worms in a pet rabbit, take the rabbit and a small sample of it's droppings to the veterinarian.
