It is very stressful as the babies are growing, as we have had such problems with them dying at around 4-6 weeks. We think it is coccidiosis and plan on treating these ones prophylactically. There are downsides to this as the drugs prevents the uptake of thiamine which is also bad - so we cannot just massively dose them. I think we could also get immunity to the drug which would also be bad.
The older litter are currently 3 weeks (a bit under in these pictures) so entering a worrying age! I am about to start medicating... being sure you have got each bunny the right amount of medication is difficult too as it is given in the water and depending what they eat they get more or less...
The other litter is just over 2 weeks with eyes open now, they are all white and all but a couple have red eyes, I find that quite cute but Doug doesn't like it...
Poppy says she doesn't mind what colour their eyes are she wants to eat them ALL.
