When is the best time to introduce my rabbit to grooming?

What is fur mites?
Rabbits can be infested with non-burrowing skin mites such as Cheyletiella parasitovorax and Leporacarus gibbus. They live on the surface of the skin. They lay eggs on the skin and hair surface, which hatch in around 35days. Many rabbits have low numbers of mites living on the skin. The presence of fur mites may cause the rabbit to have dandruff in the infected area. Occasionally lesions may form with severe infections. Rabbits will often scratch the infected area. Some fur mites can be passed to humans. Symptoms are usually seen in young or debilitated rabbits, or those with underlying diseases that prohibit adequate grooming.
