🐇Flystrike in bunnies 🐰
Flystrike is one of the most serious and uncomfortable conditions a rabbit can face and sadly it can happen much faster than many people realise.
Warmer weather increases the risk, especially for rabbits who are older, overweight, long-haired, or struggling with messy bottoms.
Even healthy rabbits can develop flystrike if checks are missed.
A quick daily health check can genuinely save a life. Knowing what’s normal for your rabbit makes it easier to spot when something isn’t right.
Make sure you check your rabbits bottoms daily and regularly clean out their home and their toileting area daily.
