URGENT! Cocci in rabbits!

Streamline your processes and reduce your running around. Make a list and keep it in your pocket if you need to. It's good practice for later in life, when you will be expected to manage paying bills, taking care of kids, and all the other things us grown ups have to do. People who learn how to multitask early on in life tend to be much more successful later on.
 
Sorry for your losses. Something nobody has mentioned as a possible cause of death is heat stress. Rabbits don't take heat well; even if their cages are not in the sun, the heat can really get to them.

Once again, I'm sorry you lost the rabbits, but it sounds like you were having trouble keeping up with everything (and they weren't supposed to be your responsibility in the first place). Before you consider replacing them, get a plan in place for a routine you can stick to - it will be less stress for you, and less guilt.;)
 
I culled a sick rabbit opened it up and looked at the liver and intestines and checked out the other organs as well. The liver and intestines looked normal. Could it be hear stress then?
 
Maybe. Are the hutches in shade at all? In Mississippi, in the middle of summer, rabbits should be fully shaded. Out in the direct sun, with the humidity guys have, heat stress is a definitely possibility.

Yes the hutches are in the shade. It may be hot because their are well were 11 bunnies together. Now their is 8 and they have been moved to the porch. If they continue to go down hill I don't know what us wrong!

But lord yes it has be HOT AND HUMID! We, well I have been trying to keep them cool in the 90s it is hard! I've lost some 2 week old kits to the heat! And I almost lost a momma rabbit because of the heat to!
 
Freeze a few water bottles and pop them in the cage during the hottest part of the day. The rabbits will lay up against them to cool off.
I've tried that! They chewed holes in them and yeah that did not last long! -_-

Just like when I use an ice cream bucket as a food bowl we'll let's say she chewed it to pieces!
 
Yes but those critters will have the stick for 2 minutes and gone!

I went out and checked on the rabbits and George Esther were sharing stick! I'm wondering how she figured out how to wegde a stick out one cage and into the other! Clever rabbits!
