Since losing a bun to flystrike I like to keep them all rearguarded. The problem with this is that it needs to be done every 10 weeks and they HATE it. There is spray called Beaphar Fly guard. It is a spray, so would be easier to get on, and it claims to last for 3 months. The problem is, how do I know if this is snake oil or something that works? Why do vets use rear guard and not this one? Anybody know?

I have been using this and have found it very good, especially on the 'problem' bunnies I have had (who seem to be longhaired too :roll
The bottle costs about £10 and so far I have treated about 10 rabbits with it which works out at pretty good value I think
What is the active ingrediant in Rear Guard? If its the same then I dont think it would be a problem although the beaphar is marketed more as an insecticide spray.
