  2. Thanks Ludmila i have since been told its something that happens with them because of them being sort of genetically modified i really didnt think of that and im really upset with myself about it im not a fan of messing around with animals breeding and feel real bad now. Im changing vets maybe theres something we can give him to reduce the seizures or something xx

  3. Hi Rachel I guess you have googled as well. I found this article on lionhead rabbits which mentions idiopathic epilepsy in some strains of dwarf rabbit:
