Last year i got rearguard from the vets just to ease my worry about the buns getting flystrike!
Just wondering when i should start again, It normally lasts 9 weeks and then i rearguard again! i just dont want to do it too early.
Thanks :D:wave:
 
I would wait until it gets a little warmer. There's not going to be a huge number of flies about when its as cold as it is so the risk of flystrike should be very low i'd have thought. I'm sure you keep their hutch spotless so you shouldn't attract the odd flies that are about.

Thanks! well they are indoor bunnies just now, they are getting their shed delivered within the next 2 weeks to get furnished for them going out in March/april time! They are kept very clean so no flies just now! I will maybe do it just before they go outside to live!

Thanks again:D:wave:
 
I would maybe do them when they go back out if it's April, saying that it really does depend on how warm it is *hope it will be warm by then*.
