  Whether you are a new bunny parent or not, please be aware of E. Coniculi and both varrients of RHDV. E. Coniculi is a fungus I beleive. It attacks the brain and important organs, like the kideneys. Rabbits might tilt their head to the side a lot or seize. If you see tbis please take your bunny to the vet ASAP. They do have a medication to control the spread of E. Coniculi. This can safe your bunny!! I was not aware of this when I had my last bunny. She had two seizers. I did not know what they were and didn’t think they were an big problem because she was 100% fine afterwards. If did it again I would have taken her in to the vet. My bunny pasted away at the ER vet after waking up extremely skinny! The vet beleived her kidneys failed, causing her to pee out all of the proteins and all needed to keep weight. 3 hours after rushing her to the vet, she died. I was not able to say goodbye. It just happened so fast! Please look out for symptoms in your buns. Look it up are read about it more. Almost every rabbit is born with E. Coniculi, but some do not show symptoms. And it does not harm every rabbit. Rabbits that are exposed to outside germs and bugs and grass is likely to get E. Coniculi. It is very contagous through rabbit pee. And the RHDV is very very contagous! And will kill them very fast. For every one that sees this be careful out there with your Bun Buns. A rabbit that plays outside and hangs out with other rabbits (other furbabies outside of the family) is very likely to get one or more of these problems. Please Please be careful. I would not wish the loss of such an amazing pet on anyone! It is probably the worst thing I have had to go through.

    Yes. I sure hope so. I rescued a baby bunny from a local SPCA and am being extremely careful with her. He is allowed to go outside, but only in my hands and before the mosquitos come out. She has her own little bunny harness to keep her safe. She is a funny girl. Runs from me when in the house and acts like she is scared of everything. But when she is outside she is a completely different bunny. She loves people, sleeps on me, etc.
