A good preventive health care program for rabbits should include measures that would give optimum protection against worms and external parasites. Here are some tips to protect pet rabbits from worms:
- If you have cats and dogs that can have access to the grazing area of your pet rabbit, be sure to deworm them regularly.
- Always pick-up after other pets promptly and dispose of the waste properly.
- If there are foxes in your area, measures should be taken to prevent them from having access to your garden. Any fox feces should be picked up and disposed of immediately.
- Clean your rabbit’s hutch regularly.
- Practice grazing rotation by dividing your rabbit’s grazing areas into small ‘paddocks’.
- Keep the number of rabbits low and manageable.
- Avoid collecting grasses from places where wild rabbits usually have access to.
- Rabbit cages should not be placed on top of each other to prevent waste from dropping between enclosures.
