Is it necessary? They're indoors generally, but probably 2-3 hours a day outside at the weekends. Both keep themselves clean just fine but I'm fairly paranoid so just wondered what everyone else does/thinks about this.
Thanks!
I have never used Rearguard and have never had to deal with flystrike. If a bun is fed the correct diet so it doesn't get a mucky bum and it's accommodation is kept clean then they shouldn't get flystrike. If they have tummy issues that can't be resolved then it's ok to use it until it can be fixed but being vigilant is always better than using a chemical. Buns can also get flystrike if they have an open wound.
This.
With correct husbandry,teeth looked after,weight etc,there is no need for chemicals.
Lots of folk like Citronella to keep the flies at bay.
Thanks. Is Flyguard safer for them?
