Belgian Rabbit

What to Do When a Rabbit Sheds Excessively
Heavy shedding has several causes. Seasonal molts (March–April, September–October) are normal — just groom daily. Diet lacking fiber or vitamins A/B causes shedding and fur-eating, fixed by balancing the feed. Fungal or parasitic infection brings dandruff and ring bald spots and needs a vet; bacterial dermatitis (Necrobacillus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas) needs the right antibiotic. Identify the cause before medicating.

Rabbit Mastitis: Causes, Signs, and Treatment
Rabbit mastitis, common about a week after kindling, blocks kits from nursing and can kill the doe through tissue death or sepsis. It stems from dirty housing, cage splinters, oversupply from too much concentrate, or bitten teats. Prevent with managed feed and smooth clean cages; treat early with cold packs and ichthammol, later with hot packs and penicillin plus mequindox and dexamethasone, and surgery for abscesses. A sick doe can pass yellow-urine disease to kits, so treat both.
How to Litter Train Your Rabbit
Rabbits learn litter use with patience in about ten days to two weeks. Set a low plastic tray with litter and a hay rack beside it, seed it with the rabbit's own droppings and urine, and reward success while cleaning misses with deodorizer and vinegar. Older rabbits learn faster, and intact rabbits mark territory when in heat, so neutering at 4 to 6 months (small/medium) or 8 to 9 months (large) curbs accidents.
What to Do When a Rabbit Has Diarrhea
