Didn't know where to put this as it sort of crossed housing and health, so I thought here might be best?
Nena is now an unvaccinated, outdoor bunny. I've fly meshed their shed windows and all of the run. I've bought fly paper which I'll hang as soon as they're home from the vets. I've also got some citronella (somewhere :roll which I'm going to put on cotton wool and into little pouches, although I must admit I found them ineffective last year as they lost their smell quickly.
Everyone takes their shoes off at the front door anyway, but I've made sure to tell family members to definitely take shoes off at the front door and not walk into the back garden with shoes that they've been on country walks with.
I'll empty their litter trays every day in hot weather, every 2 in cooler weather.
What else can I do? The fly strips seem to work well (although, tbh, I've never caught a fly on them) in the shed, but I'm concerned I need a deterrent near the run. Fly strips won't work as they'll be dangling on the floor and N&T will get stuck to them!
I think I'll stock up on the fly spray http://www.petsathome.com/shop/john...tch+spray&msg=MSG_SEARCH_ONE_MATCHING_PRODUCT and the cage granules http://www.petsathome.com/shop/cage...age+fresh&msg=MSG_SEARCH_ONE_MATCHING_PRODUCT (both for their litter trays) just so I feel like I'm doing something extra.
