[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 133051, member: 27883"] We have tons of cottontails here too. Dozens of them. They scatter everywhere when I drive in the gate at night. Rabbit fleas don't go for dogs and vice versa. They are too species specific. At least that's how it works here. During hunting season I dress a ready stream of cottontails and jacks and all of them are full of fleas, ticks and sticktight fleas. We have around 30 dogs on the ranch and not a one of them has fleas even though rabbits are running all over the place all the time. Ground squirrels too. I think your climate is similar to mine, so I'm wondering if you have a flea problem on your dogs, or if you are treating prophylactically? The regional differences in this sort of thing are interesting to me. I've always wondered why a dog can be infested 30 miles south of here, but the fleas can't survive once they get up here.
