Rabbits that spend time outdoors can become infested with fly larvae, also known as maggots. Sometimes these are the larvae of 'bot' flies, a family of flies. Some veterinarians call a maggot infestation "fly strike". Maggots on a rabbit can be a signs of poor health and they can cause enough damage or release enough toxins to kill a rabbit.

Fly strike can happen in rabbits who have feces matted to their tails. the feces provide a nice environment for maggots to hatch and grow. Any open wound can also be infected with maggots. Older bunnies who have arthritiscannot groom properly and are unable to remove fly eggs before they hatch.

Any rabbits with maggots should be brought to a veterinarian knowledgeable about rabbits.

If you have a dog and a cat and you really want to buy a rabbit but you're afraid that your other pets will attack it and eat it is this true?

Not necessarily.I have 2 golden retreivers, which were part of the family before bunny. Bunny lives indoors but when i first got him I kept him in his cage so they could all get used to each other from a safe distance. I then got bunny out and had them all together with me in the room. I did this for a few months But now bunny jumps all over the dogs, he kisses them on the nose and they lie side by side together. I think bunny thinks he is a dog too! It is a very sweet relationship they all have. Sometimes my friends dog comes to stay and she is petrified of bunny...bunny on the otherhand doesnt care. It is a typical case of the elephant and the mouse!!!!! I have never had a cat so not sure what would happen there. I think as long as all the pets know that all are part of the family it should be fine
