Oh My God! I'm The Lord(ess??) Of The Flies!!

Occasionally, I put my bunnies outside for some fresh air. The bunny condo goes with them, so they can head in there for snacks and shade and whatnot.

I got up this morning, and all was well. I noticed a fly buzzing around, but didn’t think much, other than I had to fix the hole the bunnies had chewed in the screen door recently.

I left for the day, and got home about 10 hours later.

OH MY FREEKIN’ GOD!!! Apparently, a mamma fly had layed her eggs in the bottom of the bunny condo. And they hatched. And my home was crawling with flies. I mean, hundreds of the things. And my room-mate, rather than cleaning the freeking pan (it was her turn), or at least putting the blasted thing outside, hid in her room instead.

Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew frikin’ EW!

Disgusting. I went and got fly strips and hung them up everywhere, and I made her clean the pan, to get rid of the source.

Cheese and rice - she’s the same age as me - you’d think she could be even remotely responsible. Once. Maybe.

Bah!

It could be worse, you could have come home and found that your rabbits looked like this! :eek: (Please note that no rabbit was harmed in the making of this post, and that the reason for the rabbit being in the condition depicted in the link can be found here.)

That being said, having taken care of a rabbit for a couple of weeks (only to have him destroy damn near everything in the house), I can understand how it could have happened. (But not why your roomie chose to hide in her room instead of killin’ all them flies.)

Worst literary reference ever.

Are the flies gone? Going?

I’m pondering the ‘Cheese and rice’ comment. That’s a new one.

I’m not gonna look at Tuckerfan’s link.

I think I get it.

‘Cheese and rice’ is a euphamism for ‘Jesus Christ!’

There’s a thread about sayings of this sort about. I like sayings.

Last year I had an unknown source of flies in my apartment, so I feel your pain. Luckily, after a few months, they went away and never returned, but it required me to kill them all one by one. Sucks that there’s always flies around, but really great for the reflexes!

Make sure your roommate chips in for the fly killer stuff and keeps up with her end of the rabbit cleaning. Otherwise, may I suggest leaving a dead fly head in her bed one night? That oughta show her…that auta show them all!

Could been worse. You coulda had Glen Close visit your rabbits.

Beelzebubba may be able to give you some advice.
