If you do think that your rabbit has worms, getting them to your local vet for a check-up is the best course of action. If your rabbit does have worms, then usually a simple deworming program is enough to combat the problem.
How do I know if my rabbit has worms?
Signs to look out for and how to check if your rabbit does have worms:
- Scratching/biting and irritated skin at their rear end.
- Poor coat condition.
- Weight loss.
- Small white worms (5-10mm long) on the anus or in the faeces.
How do you deworm a rabbit naturally?
Pumpkin seeds are an extremely effective deworming agent because they contain an amino acid called cucurbitacin. This paralyzes the worms making them easily eliminated from the intestine. They can be fed whole as a treat or you can grind them into a fine powder and add to Fido's food.
