Hey RU,
The other night I was laying out on the grass watching my rabbits and guinea pigs mowing my lawn. For some reason a group of about 5 flies flew in and kept landing on one of my group of 3 guinea pigs, Choccy. I don't know why they appeared to target Choccy, but in the time it took for me to get up and get in the run they had covered her back end with sticky white eggs. So I quickly took her into the house and tried to bathe the eggs off, not happening so I had no option other than cut her fur off
So a warning to everyone to be very aware of fly strike. flies!!!
Choccy's fine, other than her dodgy haircut :lol:
