Mucoid Enteritis in Rabbit Kits Is Dangerous and Often Fatal

Mucoid enteritis is one of the most dangerous and heartbreaking conditions that can affect young rabbits—especially during the vulnerable weaning stage. In this in-depth video, we’re taking a serious look at what causes mucoid enteritis, the warning signs every rabbit owner needs to know, and what you can do to help prevent this often fatal condition in your rabbit kits.

Whether you're raising meat rabbits, show rabbits, or beloved pets, this episode is packed with essential information for anyone raising animals on a hobby farm. Learn why 5 to 8-week-old kits are most at risk, what symptoms to look for (like jelly-like stools, potbellies, and sloshing sounds), and how a high-fiber diet with plenty of hay can reduce your risk.

Here at Andersen Acres, we believe in education and preparation when it comes to animal health. Don’t wait until it’s too late—understanding mucoid enteritis could save the lives of your rabbits.
