The heatwave might be over however the weather is mild and damp and therefore provides great breeding conditions for parasites such as lice, mites and fleas as well as flies. So remember to keep checking your bunnies for signs of flystrike or parasitic infestation. Common parasites include red mites that look like wee red dots, crab mites that are white and look a bit like spiders and lice which are shaped like tiny cigars and are white/clear in colour. Xeno or Beaphar spot on bought online or from your vet will sort out these pesky beasties. If you have a microscope, USB microscope or very good camera you can use these tools to identify what type of parasite your pet has. However always check with your vet first. As for flystrike, if you are happy to use Beaphar or Rearguard than do so. Otherwise use natural deterrents such as lavender and citronella in the litter-tray. Sudocrem is also great for mucky bums and since its naturally lavender scented a thick spread should ward off any nasties. Remember wet but mild weather is still a dangerous time for your rabbit.
