    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Wondered if anyone can shed some light please.Why is it my bottom hutched rabbits are thinner than my top hutch rabbits please.Is it because the bottom is colder or would a mouse/mice get in and eat food etc.Its puzzling me as all animals fed and looked after the same but the bottom hutch rabbits are noticablly thinnerx
 
Are they actually loosing weight ?

Mice are vectors of EC so aswell as the risk of mice eating food they can also spread disease. Were the two recent losses housed in the lower hutches ?
