This is just a question and I'm not intending causing any controversy but I'm a little confused.
About 20 years ago, I had lots of bunnies - not as many as some of you but it was quite a few to me - about 9 or so
Anyway, I wasn't as clued up then as I am now and although they always had stacks of hay, they were fed a muesli type rabbit mix and none of them were vaccinated.
The reason I'm stumped is because they were never ill - I didn't have one instance of stasis, myxi, syphilis or EC etc. The only problem I encountered was one of my Dutch buns had a runny tum every so often if she had veggies - easily remedied by diet.
Now my question is - was I just very very lucky cos all my bunsters lived to a fine old age or do you think that illnesses/diseases for buns are becoming more prevalent and if so, why ??
