Hmm. I agree about freezing hay and as Ria knows I’ve also had moth house invasions. Hay is usually other bugs snd mites. Bit as rabbit owners use hay a lot it makes me wonder if it’s normal for them to freeze hay as they must go through quite a bit. Whereas hay is optional/unnecessary for hamsters and usually small amounts.

Moths are usually from pet food though (the eggs in the food are too small to see). Do you have a freezer compartment in your fridge? I’d have a poke around in the rabbit hutch and see if you find any more bugs.
