Causes /Treatments - Diarreha in Rabbits

Question
We recently got a baby rabbit and it has developed diarreha. Can you give me the possible causes and treatments?

Thanks,
Denise Walters

Answer
There's several reasons a baby bunny could have diarrhea.  Are you feeding the same pellets he had before you got him?  Are you feeding him hay?  He shouldn't be eating vegetables or fruits or treats with sugar at this age.  He could have been weaned too young and his system is out of whack.

If you are feeding him only hay and pellets, then check out some other possible causes at http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html#entero
