As we have seen in the article on the gene for dwarfism in rabbits, the ‘FADER’ is one of the malformations linked to this gene that can occur in rabbits. In the following article, we will talk about it.

On some occasions, reading in social media groups about rabbits, we have come across inexperienced owners or hobby farmers asking for help because one of their animals is suffering from vestibular syndrome (often claiming that they do not have an exotic vet nearby or that it was sudden). Vestibular syndrome can have many causes but, on this occasion, we will focus on the most terrible and the one with the highest probability rate: the "Encephalitozoon Cuniculi" or "E.Cuni".

Are you a person with specific allergies to rabbits and want one as a pet? Has your child developed an allergy and you don't want to get rid of your pet? Are you looking for one that suits your needs for health reasons?In the following article we will find out if hypoallergenic rabbits exist (or not).

Albinism in animals - including humans - is caused by the inheritance of an altered copy of the gene responsible for regulating pigment production. Generally, the presence of a viable allele of this gene is sufficient for pigmentation to occur, so albinism is usually a genetic condition associated with a recessive homozygosity, i.e. the gene must be altered in both copies of chromosomes for albinism to occur.

In social networking groups focused on pet rabbits (especially in Latin American countries) it is common to see cases of rabbits with their feet open from a very young age, which can affect one, two or all four legs. This condition is called "splay leg" or "swimmer's syndrome" and in the following article we will learn about it, if it can be prevented and if it has a cure. 

This is a question that many owners (especially first-time owners) ask themselves when they realise that their rabbit is dirty or smells bad. But, what we have to ask ourselves is not only if we can bathe our rabbit, but also the reason for the dirt or bad smell that accompanies it.  In this article we will talk about it

Are rabbits vaccinated, against which diseases, is there a specific procedure to follow or precautions to take? We will find out in the following article. 

Malocclusion is one of the most common diseases or malformations in rabbits and guinea pigs, especially in those that come from irresponsible breeding (either in pet factories or from individuals who only want to make money and do not care about the breeding, the breed or the animals), as well as from domestic abandonment; what does malocclusion consist of? How can it be avoided or treated?
