You will have to treat Prince with a rabbit safe flea treatment, flea treat any other animals in the house, and you have to disinfect the environment as well. Advantage is safe to use on rabbits. To disinfect the environment, wash his bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. I hope this helps!
