Do not ever trust anyone but a exotics trained vet or your informed self regarding pipettes.
A store just tried to sold me a combination containing Fipronil as being safe for bunnies. Fipronil is known to cause fatal results in rabbits, and those effects may take more than a week to show up. This a very usual component on cat flea pipettes from Frontline.
Safe flea pipettes for rabbits contain Selamectin, which may be hard to come by in some places (such as Portugal). There's also Imidacloprid. Confirm dosages with vets according to your bunny weight.
Dinotrofan+Pyriproxyfen may be used as last resort for fleas only (do nothing to mites) but you'll probably need a sub-millilitre syringe and to discuss dosage. Some of these have Permethrin (also toxic), never use those, cat formulations usually don't have it but check thoroughly.
