This morning I found 2 of my Dutch rabbits dead. I'm not quite sure why they died but was wondering if anyone could tell me where I went wrong because the rabbits are inly 2 1/2 years old. Well.. firstly I know for sure their hutches were too small because they were only 4x1 1/2 x2 feet but today there new 6x2x2 hutch was coming. All of the rabbits were neutered and were all separated because they don't get along but none were vaccinated because my mum said that it was a waste of money to get that done. I used sawdust and hay for their bedding (stored in plastic tubs out side) ... could it be the they inhaled the dust from that? I also cleaned them out once a week. I feed them burgess excel pellets (stored in plastic tubs out side) with grass, hay and plenty of veg (mostly carrots). They also had plenty of water... but recently there has been a lot of algae in the water bottles. Could that be the problem because the rabbit that is still alive did not have as much algae. Also they were groomed regularly, they were not over or underweight although they should probably of had much more exercise. They also had a lot of toys to play with... I really don't know what I did so wrong but if you have an idea of what went wrong because I now want to give the other rabbit the best life possible. Also if they have a disease which killed them what should I do with the hutches and rabbit supplies because I don't want my other rabbit to catch it!
