    I've seen that before; in young rabbits. I posted it on the other forum and apparently it's ok. I'll see if I can dig out the thread if someone else doesn't answer here...

    Coccidiosis is a viral scours disease in young cattle. I'm guessing that is RCD (rabbit collesie disease) as that effects the rabbits internal organs but the meat will be fine.Who eats the gutz anyway

    That is definitely coccidiosis . Apparently if you freeze them for ten to fourteen days it will kill all of it. Not transferable to humans but wrecks kiwi populations. I don't even give them to my dog. In a year or two you'll stop seeing it in the rabbits, they must develop an immunity to it or something.
