Just wondering how common this is/how worried I should be about it!
Fergie is an indoor bun with full free run of the biggest bedroom, and has his own area for at night. He only poos and wees in his giant litter tray (indoor hutch) which on a normal week gets cleaned of dirty stuff every day, and his entire area gets disinfected etc. once a week. He refuses to be completely litter trained into a storage box so I don't mind him using his indoor cage, it's a giant hay box anyway.
I've never ever worried about fly strike before but this week I've been really ill with food poisoning (still not better ) so haven't been good with cleaning. My mum/Fergies babysitter has been cleaning out poo/wee but I haven't been well enough to do a full clean and disinfect yet, it should have been done on Sunday but now it's Thursday and I'm worrying, I didn't want to have to ask my mum to do the full clean as I'm fussy about it and thought I'd only be poorly for a day or two.
I came in for a cuddle and a lie down with him before and noticed a couple of flies in the room, the window has been open for days and there's a couple of flies downstairs so I'm sure they've just come in but I'm just worrying. I checked him over and he is completely clean and normal so I'm sure he's fine, I shooed the flies out and I've asked my mum to help me disinfect tonight but I just wanted to check that he'll be ok!
I feel like a bad bunny mummy but I have literally not stopped being sick since Sunday and thought that puking on him/in his house wasn't a good idea
I'm off to the doctors now anyway, but just needed some reassurance/info! Xx
