Swallowing flies will not cause any harm to Scooter but if he is eating them in abundance, he may develop vomiting / diarrhea. Otherwise, if he is eating them occasionally, this should not be a problem. You could use fly traps to help reduce the amount of flies in the area where Scooter spends most of his time.
