Question
I was recently cleaning my rabbits hutch out and there were these funny little red shell type things they where realyy small and my brother thinks they were maggot larvae but i couldnt find anything on the internet about the "larvae" please help!!!

Answer
It's possible that's what they were, you could find more information at http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html#fly

The only ay to get around these is to clean feces out at least once a day, and to clean the whole cage at least once if not twice per week.

Once summer passes and it cools off, you can go back to your regular cleaning schedule.
