I got a little situation~
Ok so I had 12 13 week old meat rabbits and I had them on Producer's Pride Rabbit food for about 6 weeks with no problems. I sold all of them except 5 but I noticed that one of them had bloat and had not been eating so I had to but him down. Then later I noticed that 2 more of them also had bloat and sadly they will have to be but down Sunday~ as I had no time to put them down today. I hate to see them suffer like that even though their meat rabbits. I will still use them for food but I can't sell them.
The only one that showed no sigh of bloat is now in another cage by himself he will be sold tomorrow for meat.
But what I'm trying to figure out is why are these rabbits getting bloat? I have not given them anything but Producer's Pride rabbit food and hay. They have a clean cage as well as a clean water bowl so it shouldn't be a bacterial issue~
The rest of my rabbits are completely fine but I feed them a different food called Manna Pro For All Types of Rabbits which is a much better quality feed. And they also get the same hay as the others. So my guess that it was the food that caused this problem.
So my question to you all is had anyone had any problems with Producer's Pride Rabbit food? Or do you have any ideas as to what may have caused this small out brake of bloat?
