In short
- A rabbit that hasn't eaten or passed droppings for half a day is an emergency. Don't wait until tomorrow.
- Myxomatosis and haemorrhagic disease (RHD) can't be cured; only vaccination protects, plus netting against mosquitoes and control of fleas.
- Coccidiosis strikes youngsters from weaning to 3 months; a dry floor, clean feeders and unchanged feed after weaning protect them.
- Heat above 30 °C (86 °F) kills faster than disease: shade, water, frozen bottles.
- Every new rabbit at least 30 days in quarantine.
- Normal: body temperature 38.5–40.0 °C (101.3–104 °F), breathing 30–60 a minute.
