I’m embarrassed that it didn’t occurred to me that it could potentially be a problem at the time. So Before I got my rabbits, I went online and purchased a 10kg pack of Burgess excel rabbit nuggets for dwarf rabbit, I kept it in an airtight container (simplehuman pet food bin). And probably a week later, when I opened it to get their nuggets, I saw 2 maggots on the inside of the lid of the container, at the time I just throw the maggots away and continue feeding my rabbits as normal. Now that I’m thinking about switching their food to adult food, I’m wondering if I should’ve discarded the whole 10kg of nuggets when I found the maggots (I’ve been reading about flystrikes).
I’m based in the UK, I’ve never seen a maggot even in the hottest summer time and I only got the pack in September 19, so it must’ve come with the pack.
Should I have discarded the food? Should I continue feeding them this food? Does this make me a bad bunny mum?
Side question: do I need to change their food to adult food when they reach 6 months if they are dwarf rabbits? (4 and 5 months indoor rabbits)
