I discovered a rabbit this morning with the same condition. I culled it and did a necropsy to determine why there was so much "bloating". I found the same thing as in the OP's pictures. Was getting on here to ask what the cause was. Thanks guys

Hey guys and gals, just wondering if you could help me figure out why I had two litters of bunnies die recently. Here are the symptoms I noticed. First, I had a single bunny die. There were about 20 bunnies in two grow out cages, side by side. Then, about two days later another died. I...

Thanks for the replies :)

Hello everyone, just wondering what you guys do to keep the temp down in your rabbitry during the summer, especially if you live in the South like I do. I live in lower Alabama, and it's mid May and already hitting nearly 90. As of right now, I have two box fans running all day hitting both...

Hey guys and gals, I'm not sure if anyone is going to read this update, but here goes. We're 9 days in to giving our rabbits free choice feed, along with a little alfalfa here and there, and they are looking much, much better. I think given another couple of weeks at this rate and they will be...

Okay, again thanks for the replies. What Mama said about measuring feed by weight and not volume is probably where a lot of my issue is coming from. I have been using a measuring cup for fluid oz, which I didn't realize. My wife actually pointed that out when she read Mama's post. I just...

* I feed the mature NZW's and Flemish Giants 6-7 oz a day, and the others 4-5 oz a day. (Purina Pro) I haven't been giving hay free choice, but I do feed them alfalfa hay from a TSC bundle about twice a week. I did get a bail of hay from a local hay farm and that may have been what introduced...

I will choose the worst looking one and butcher him/her and post the pics here. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this soon. Once we figure out what we are dealing with, how optimistic are you guys that I can save my herd? Thanks again - Bo

Thanks to everyone for all of your replies! I really appreciate you taking the time to help. Moving forward, if it is a parasite, how do I go about treating my herd to get rid of it? Can the rabbits even be treated? Thanks - Bo <br /><br /> -- Tue Feb 11, 2014 1:44 am -- <br /><br />...

Hey, thanks for the reply. Yeah, I did switch back to the other feed. It's purina PRO pellets. They always ate both feeds fine, but I think the purina is the better feed so I will sticking with it from now on. Both feeds have the same nutritional values though. No other changes besides...

Hello, my name is Bo. I have been attempting to raise rabbits for about a year. I seem to have developed some sort of disease in my rabbitry and I'm hoping that someone here can help. * I have Californians, NZWs and Flemmish Giants * At this point I don't have any rabbits less than 7 mo...
