No, it's not rare at all, in fact GI stasis is common for rabbits. For the most part, however, it can be easily avoided: just take good care of your rabbit.
Good care means:
- Give your bunny the right diet, especially lots of hay
- Give your bunny enough activity and fitness every day - provide fun toys, and play with her
- Minimise stress in your bunny's life
- Treat any illnesses, injuries, or other health problems immediately, with a vet - untreated, ALL health problems lead to GI stasis
- Brush your bunny when he's moulting (or more often, if he's a long-haired breed), and keep his habitat clean so he doesn't ingest much fur
- Don't let your bunny eat carpet, blankets, fresh corn, rubber, cat litter, or ANYTHING that might cause a gut obstruction
- etc. See the related questions below for more info and links.

What happens if rabbits eat lot of tomato?
Tomato is a good treat for rabbits, but too much can make it sick. A bite or two of tomato is enough.If a rabbit eats too much of any kind of treat, it can go into GI stasis, which means the digestive system shuts down. Without help from a vet with rabbit experience, a rabbit in GI stasis will die.There's two different reasons that treats can lead to GI stasis. One reason is that a sugar spike in the diet can cause gas. Gas is really painful for rabbits, and in response they often hide and stop eating. When they stop eating (for any reason), rabbits go into GI stasis.Another reason is that all those treats can spoil the rabbit's appetite for hay. Hay is good for rabbits because it's really high in fiber, and really low in sugar, protein, and fat. Fiber keeps the rabbit's digestion moving. If a rabbit doesn't eat enough hay, it can go into GI stasis.See the related questions below for more information and links.

Wild rabbits are free to eat EVERYTHING they need when they are free. In captivity they are dependent on you to figure out what they need. Even if you are feeding them the correct feed your wild rabbit will probably still have diarrhea because it is stressed out. Captivity doesn't set well with any wild animal.
