Depending on what type of mites your rabbit may have, the symptoms will be different.
1. Fur Mites * Symptoms: Fur loss around the face, neck, and back. Flaky, red, or irritated skin. PLEASE NOTE: Some rabbits periodically lose fur about the neck area due to hormonal reasons. They will NOT exhibit any signs of flaky, red, or irritated skin.
2. Mange Mites
* Symptoms: Often seen scratching and in doing so may make themselves bleed, scratch themselves to point of injury, etc. Also notice a loss of hair on the chin, head, base of the ears, and the neck. 3. Ear Mites aka Ear Canker
* Symptoms: Often shaking their head and frequently scratching at their ears. If you look in their ears you may see an accumulation of what seems to be golden-yellow scabs or earwax on the inside of the ears. It may be obvious, or deeper down. This is often from a loss of blood and/or bacterial infection accompanying the mite infection.
In all these cases it is vital to get treatment for your animals from a rabbit-knowledgeable veterinarian, and to cull/ separate them from your other rabbits and animals to keep the mites from spreading.

How much a flea comb costs depends on the brand, and store where you buy it.Be warned that, if your rabbit has fleas, a flea comb will not solve your problem. You may be able to remove some fleas and eggs with it, but others will always remain. However, many of the pet products on the market designed to kill fleas are toxic for rabbits, so you can't use those, either. If your rabbit has fleas, you must bring him or her to a vet who has experience with rabbits.
