Hi there, Im harry and i have one rabbit called tiki. Last year I had 4 rabbits and in the space of 8 months i have lost 3. Its been a very sad and confusing time for me. I lost my first rabbit Norman at 1 year after months of struggling, she lost alot of weight amongst other stuff. I lost her partner Roman at a year also, about 7 months after losing Norman. Roman had no problems except losing weight. I had been feeding her up with barley rings and extra pellets when i went in to her shed one day and she was very still so i rushed her straight to the vets where i made the choice to put her to sleep. About a month later Colin, Romans partner after Norman had died passed away also. He had been losing weight but not at the rate Roman and Norman had been. The day he died i found him stuck under his hutch, when i got him out he couldnt move very well at all so i rushed him to the vet but he passed away whilst we were waiting for the vet. I got a post mortem done on roman which showed he had phenomena. My final rabbit tiki is now losing weight. My vet cant explain it as all my rabbits have been very active and happy and then on the day they die they just go down hill very very suddenly. After Colin died i made sure not to put tiki in any places any of the other rabbits had been because at this point i was starting to think it was contagious. She is in the wendy house collin used to be in before being paired with roman and uses a different run but i think whatever all the rabbits have been catching is from norman and collin didnt come into contact with norman only her partner roman so i had hoped maybe tiki was safe but now she is losing weight. I am so worried. Thanks for reading i hope you can make sense of it. I guess i just want to hear stories from anyone who had suffered the same thing or know of something similar?
Harry.
