virkon???

Well personally I'm utterly confused as to what the condition actually is! :? E Coli is a bacteria, which is found in faeces, including human. It's not a virus. Coccidia are protozoa.

For french lops yes 5ft is small and overcrowded with one in, is this one of your new breeding babies?

unfortunatly french lops are large breeds often classified as giants...they really do need a double 6ft hutch or a shed with attatched run on either or both. if you look on rspca recoomendations its now reccomended a 6x2x2ft hutch for even smaller breeds. so overcrowding could be the cause? im not too sure about e coli bacteria but i do know humans can get it. i hope the bun pulls through and definatly isolate this bun from others .

I can't believe you are going down this road again:shock: and if you haven't got a giant why is there one in this thread? http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?t=133290&page=3
I'm sorry Kim - I hoped you had turned over a new leaf, especially after the help you received rehoming your other rabbits when they could have had myxi:roll:
