It mostly depends on if you let it out or not. I let mine out for exercise everyday which gives my rabbit a healthy lifestyle. But I also have a dog and we all know dogs get fleas so I have to be careful of that. So yes there probably is a chance so just check him/her regularly.

Yes, rabbit can get fleas, but you cannot use flea treatments on them. If your bunnies get fleas, do not just buy a dog or cat flea control product because this could kill them.

There are some natural products that keep fleas away, like fir wood. Some people recommend getting fir wood chips or using a rabbit hutch made of fir wood to keep the fleas away.

However, if your rabbit has fleas, it needs to be treated by a special rabbit-savvy vet. Make an appointment for as soon as you can.

Yes I am pretty sure it can, but it depends on how many.

2. A rabbit can die from the loss of blood since fleas feed upon blood .
