  So my trio buns all have fur mites on the back of their neck. I checked and found some scabbing as well as some hair loss. Two are around 5 months old and the third is over a year or two. Now my idea would be to put them all on Revolution but money is kinda tight right now and i heard Ivermectin is an option.
  
  Has anyone used them on rabbits before?

  Years ago, my pair had a series of ivermectin shots. I also bought some oral ivomectin from the vet at the time. I actually can’t remember if I ever used it! I’ve used revolution also.
  
  Ivo dosing is here. I believe 400mg/kg is commonly quoted.

  Regarding Revolution; it can be more economical to buy dog doses and split that up when you have multiple rabbits.
  There is a chart that shows the dosing. I’ll post it here once I find it.
