Hi everyone.
well it is that time of year when we all start thinking about the warmer weather and the fact that it brings the flies with it. As someone who has seen the affects of flystrike in the past few years (nb not my rabbits but someone elses) i thought i'd make it a topic for disscussion. It it essential to check your buns bums regularly and remove any feaces from it. Also keep the hutches and runs clean. prevention is better than cure. I used rearguard for the first time this year, although it is difficult to apply and smells awful it is veterinary recommened (but rather pricey about £20). I have heard bad things about xenex. I used beapher fly spray last year is good but have to apply weekly which is a hassle.
What does everyone else think?
