It sounds as if your rabbits have been exposed to sniffles...which is a common term for a respiratory infection in rabbits. Your best bet is to quarantine all rabbits with symptoms in hopes of preventing it from spreading to your entire barn. Also, consult your vet about getting an antibiotic for them. With treatment, sniffles is usually easy to cure, but without treatment it can affect your entire herd and possible kill many of them.

It is time to go to the vet for some antibiotics. You do NOT want your whole barn becoming infected.
I hope that your bunnies get better soon.

Rabbits are prone to respiratory infections. A rabbits knowledgeable vet may be able to prescribe antibiotics for bacterial infections if needed.
