My mum has just told me that we've recently had lots of maggots in our bin. I'm really worried as I put the soiled rabbit bedding in the bin and not sure if there could have been eggs in the bedding causing the maggots. I am not at home at the moment and won't be for at least another hour, I am panicking that I may have a maggot infection on my hands.
When I get home I will be inspecting both buns, please can someone advise me what to look for? Obviously maggots are a very bad sign but I know they will lay eggs in the fur too? Both my girls have been fine in themselves and not showed any signs of being ill or in distress so I am really hoping the maggots in the bin have just been attracted to some food and nothing to do with the buns. However the bin is very close to the girls' hutches and runs so I am really worried about this. I've never experienced flystrike before, please help!
