I don't routinely worm mine. I would only worm them if they were showing signs of parasites.

OK thanks very much ...... I haven't ever done it but I'm possibly putting the bunnies into boarding whilst we're on holiday and they've requested I worm them beforehand!!
Thanks for your input everyone.
So is it normal for boarders to ask for them to be done??

Yes a lot of boarders do seem to...but if the bunnies aren't coming into contact with other bunnies or areas where other bunnies have been (e.g. grass runs) during their stay then personally I don't think it is necessary. I can see that from a boarders point of view, it could reduce the risk of ec transmission through shared grass run areas, but personally I wouldn't allow my bunnies to be put in grass runs at a boarder because grass can't be disinfected and there's no guarantee that EC won't be transmitted through that route. Or coccidiosis, which panacur won't kill. Or pasteurella, etc etc.
Personally I don't worm/panacur my bunnies routinely, I would only do it if there was clinical need.
