I have never routinely wormed my rabbits. In fact I think I have only done it about twice in the 14 years that I have kept bunnies.

I worm mine bi-annually and I know I have EC positive bunnies amongst my lot, so treat them all as 'carriers'.

Never wormed mine. Am anxious now! Should I be doing it? Going to vets on Monday for their VHDs, so will ask then.

Yes, I think I will ask at my vets too, as I have only ever wormed one of mine and that was because she had a messy bottom. It did'nt make any difference to her dirty bum, so I am not sure if she had worms anyway.

Just to clarify I don't work them against intestinal parasites but against Encephalitozoon Cuniculi. The fact it protects against intestinal worms is to me, just a bonus, as it isn't hugely common for rabbits to get them.
