What can cause a sudden death in dwarf rabbits?

Answer 1

Rabbits can die from many causes, just as any other animal. For instance, the rabbits can die of old age, diseases, and neglect. In the wild, they can also die due to predators, including hunters.

Answer 2

I raise Mini Lops, not Dwarf Rabbits, but the cause of death is probably the same.

*The rabbit could die from age, (6 and up?)

* lack of food/water

*extreme weather

*shock, (transition to new cages or places, traveling, new experiences, fear,)

* It could be poisoned- a few years ago my rabbit chewed something on the floor and died a few days later

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

mine died of huge arteries. they are supposed to have them the size of pencil erasers and mine was the size of grapes. but other than disease old age and sickness

MoreA proper diet is essential. Guinea pigs need fresh water and hay, along with other plant matter like green beans, carrots, etc. They can have small amounts of fruit like strawberries and citrus because like humans they need vitamin C to stay healthy.

Be careful to use timothy hay rather than alfalfa. Alfalfa has been shown to aggravate kidney problems, which are almost always fatal.

Answer 4

Most pet rabbits die from old age and putting to sleep. Breeders breed so many rabbits a year that most will get put down and exterminated! Please adopt a rabbit! Do not buy one.

Answer 5

It varies greatly depending on whether or not the rabbit was exposed to the outdoors or not. Indoor rabbits often die from being over fed, underfed, stored in areas too warm or too cold, or due to being caged up for too long. A rabbits diet should contain a wide variety of fresh food and food pellets should be avoided unless recommended by a doctor. They can also die because they have nothing to do. Disease and infection

is not out of the question for indoor rabbits but it is less likely compared to an outdoor rabbit.

Outdoor rabbits often die from disease and infection, most often spread by ticks and parasites, malnutrition and other sick rabbits. Dogs, foxes and cats also enjoy attacking and/or eating rabbits (especially babies), which clearly will kill a rabbit.
