Question
is.there anything I can put on a rabbit to get rid of maggots?

Answer
hellp peter

why has your rabbit got maggots on her/him?

when a rabbit has maggots it is very serious, they eat all the dried skin and wiggle into the skin more and more. Has your rabbit got flystrike? read up on it if your are not sure what it is.

in some cases a rabbit that has bad flystrike may have to be put to sleep.

Go see your vet ASAP, as there is nothing that you can do to get rid of them.
