I just don't know what to do about it.
Every day I go outside and I'm greeted by a swarm of flies in the bunny shed. I clean out litter trays every day, there's citronella gel thingies in there... still the flies keep coming. I've just been and cleaned out the trays again and disinfected everything, and still they won't go away. They seem to congregate around Cupcake and Pud, which is terrifying as Cupcake has been ill for a long time and I'm worried they're attracted to her. From what I can see though, her bum is always clean.
I was gonna put some citronella oil on the newspaper in the litter trays but then someone told me citronella is toxic to bunnies, so that's a no no. Mum got me a fly killer thing to put in the shed, but I'm so worried about it being poisonous to the buns that I've left it in there with the door wide open, which is only letting more flies in :lol:
I'm going on holiday for a week and I'm terrified that I'll come home to find that the bunnies got flystrike; I know full well that no one will clean them out whilst I'm away, they'll chuck fresh hay and food in, and top up their water, and that'll be it
