My bunny has maggots :'( got rid of a few of them today using some killer spray bought from local pet shop, but he's a bit unwell at the moment sitting in the corner of his cage wont eat or drink. Hopefully he'll get better and hopefully we got all of the maggots out today.

@joecox406 How did he do? If he's had them once he could get them again. It really is the best thing to take them to the vets and have them flushed out, as you can't be sure you've got them all. Hope he's ok ^.^

@animalcare10

That's amazing! I'm so pleased you saved your bunny from this. It's particularly poignant at the mo, as the bunny who featured in this video passed away last week-end :(

Give your bun a cuddle from us, he was a very lucky rabbit!

Sorry to hear about Ash :( That's really sad. We live and learn, don't be hard on yourself ^^

Thank-you and that's great. I remember the flies in Oz, lots of them! Glad it's been useful ^^

As an experienced rabbit owner, I cannot believe how much I learnt from this film. Thankyou very much.
