Any ideas!!!!!

My two bun's are living in a large secure run that they have access to all the time during these summer months, I was wondering if any of you have ideas about how to keep flies away from the run. This might be a really daft question but I was just wondering about things like citronella scented stuff etc.

Is there anything other than repelant that you all use?? Also have ants ever been a problem to Rabbits? I have seen the odd one in the run, I think I'm just paranoid that they be bitten by beasty's.

Another message from a neurotic bunny mom, :lol:
 
I use sticky fly papers in my runs just make sure there high up out of bunny's reach but they work really well!
 
Ihave planted some lemon balm in a pot to try and keep the flies off - I have seen ants too and was worried but the buns dont seem to be! I also hand bunches of lavender in the runs :)
 
OOps I mean HANG bunches of lavender - sounded like I sit there all day and hand them to the buns as they pass by! :roll:

I'm a bit wary of lavendar as it attracts the bees :shock: :shock: :lol:

I only put the leaves - does that attract the bees too or just the flowers - sorry I should have been more specific! :oops:
 
I got some pure citronella oil from Boots and put a few drops in a spray bottle with bit of water and sprayed round the bunny runs and that seemed to do the trick.
