Flystrike is a life-threatening risk for rabbits and guinea pigs during the warmer months. 🐰🐹
Check their bottoms twice daily to ensure they are clean and to identify any early signs of fly eggs or maggots.🪰
A 'sticky bottom' not only increases the risk of flystrike but may also indicate issues with your rabbit's teeth or digestion.
Flystrike is an emergency that can worsen rapidly, so if in doubt, contact your vet immediately. ⚠
