How can I protect my bunny from flies and other pests during the summer?

There are several ways you can protect your bunny from flies and other pests during the summer:

1. Keep your bunny's living area clean and tidy. Regularly clean the cage or hutch and remove any leftover food, droppings, or bedding that may attract pests.

2. Use fly screens or nets on the windows and doors of your bunny's living area to keep flies and other insects out.

3. Provide your bunny with plenty of fresh water to encourage them to stay hydrated and reduce their attractiveness to pests.

4. Use fly repellent products designed for use on rabbits, such as insect repellent sprays or pellets, to help keep pests away.

5. Consider using natural pest control methods, such as planting insect-repelling herbs like mint, lavender, or basil around your bunny's living area.

6. Consult with your veterinarian about the use of pest control products that are safe and suitable for use around rabbits.

7. Regularly check your bunny for signs of pest infestations, such as ticks or fleas, and consult with your veterinarian for appropriate treatment options if needed.
