My rabbit was bought online; couldn’t learn the litter box, and now after half a year (about 7 months old) it follows the chicks my mom bought and sleeps in the chicken coop with them. What’s going on?
The rabbit may like the warm coop and treat chicks as companions or mates (if in heat). Don't let it near chickens — risk of fights, stress-induced heart death, cholera/pasteurellosis from droppings, and coccidiosis. Isolate it away from the coop.
Do Guinea Pigs Need Coccidia Prevention?
Guinea pigs benefit greatly from coccidia prevention, since an infection can be fatal — especially in young pups that are hard to treat. Prevention combines a clean, dry, well-ventilated habitat, enough vitamin C, and a short course of diclazuril solution, though healthy adult guinea pigs with strong immunity usually need no medication.
Common Diseases That Affect Rabbits
Rabbits are fragile and prone to a few serious diseases: rabbit viral hemorrhagic disease (near-100% fatal, often sudden death), pasteurellosis (fever, runny nose), coccidiosis (gut/liver parasite, high death rate), and colibacillosis (E. coli, fatal diarrhea). This article summarizes each and urges early care.
Which Medications Treat Guinea Pig Coccidia?
Diclazuril solution and toltrazuril are the main drugs used to treat and prevent guinea pig coccidiosis; they belong to the same drug class. Diclazuril works well but resists water and builds tolerance, while toltrazuril shares cross-resistance, so follow your vet's guidance on dosing.

Will a Rabbit’s Diarrhea Get Better on Its Own?
A rabbit's gut is delicate, so diarrhea is a serious sign that will not resolve on its own. Causes include coccidiosis, chills/colds, improper diet, and rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD); treatment ranges from veterinary care for infection or RHD, to warming and diet fixes for mild cases. Never wait it out.

Tips for Raising Rabbits in Summer
Summer heat hurts rabbit growth and breeding, so prepare cooling early. Key points: ventilate and sprinkler-cool, shade the hutch, plant greenery, lower density and feed at dawn/dusk, adjust feed (more protein, less energy, fresh greens), supply ample cool water, pause breeding in heat, and prevent coccidiosis with sanitation and fly/mosquito screens.
