So, my Teddy quite possibly has EC and is being treated for it. His symptoms are excessive and inappropriate peeing. When we rescued him, he was suffering from acute urine scald at the time .. but this is no longer a problem.
I understand EC is transmitted through spores in urine. I have always (25 years, plus) made litter trays up with newspaper and hay .. the idea being that rabbits like to pee, poop and graze at the same time. He has a huge litter tray, changed twice a day.
I am now wondering if this is wise? Am I adding to the problem. A lady on another forum did comment that she would be concerned about her rabbits soiling the hay and eating it.
Teddy does have another source of hay as well. The litter tray works well for both Teddy and me, so don't unnecessarily want to change anything but, I am wondering .....:?:?
