Question
thank you for ur help Diamond(the netherland dwarf) is 1lb the weight book says that its alright but ima take your advice n feed em seperatly, i think my boy Buster has wry neck disease and he has an apt. tomorrow but i wanna know if he can play still wit my other rabbits i dont wanna infect them but this page says that he is supposed to be happy and hes happy when hes with them im worried i should've known something was up after the heat wave we had here in N.Y. an he slowed up on his normal portion of food

Answer
Hi Kao,

if you suspect he has something that is giving him head tilt, or "wry neck", do not let him have contact with your other rabbits.  You don't want this spreading around your rabbits and having to treat several sick rabbits at the same time.  We took in a foster with head tilt and it took three plus months of care to make sure his infections were cleared up.  We kept him isolated from our other guys, didn't share litterpans or anything.  Just make sure he gets attention from you guys and he will be all right.
