Hi there, recently I have completely restarted my rabbitry, yes cages and everything from scratch again. Im raising Hollands, I'm thinking at this point they are just very susceptible to diseases?
What did I do wrong? I started with one pregnant rabbit. Her baby ended up getting white snot and sneezing fits at 8 weeks old. I'm not sure why, his mother? another rabbit? I had swapped him cages with another baby I had for a month but, regrettably, did not spray disinfectant in between. (he's in quarantine while I find him a pet home) but at this point I already got 3 more new rabbits, different breeders, who seem reputable. All cages have solid dividers and I do not have anyone else showing symptoms.
To keep my tiny rabbitry clean, do I have to get rid of all his realatives "just in case" they are carriers of something like Pasteurella? But I can go to a show and a rabbit can sneak this back in, no symptoms even during quarantine until a baby pops up with it one day. Who all deals with this? What do YOU do about it? What has worked? Do you Ever Culture/test your rabbits for anything? (...expensive!)
