Answers:
Shoot, if you've got 24 you need to know this (and get a better mentor than the breeder you got them from if they were no help). Separate all those with symptoms, now. Keep an eye on your herd and take out any others that show the same symptoms later.
This is basic stuff so my first thought is Snuffles (pasturella/bordatella). It can wipe out your whole herd if left alone. Take your worst case (rabbit that first showed symptoms) to your rabbit vet ASAP to be seen and get meds for the rest of them. It used to be that those rabbits were just killed to save the herd but now days there is more knowledge and good medicines that can control it although your rabbits may not be quite as vigorously healthy. Talk to your vet.
Purchase some Vanodine, if you don't already have some, and treat everything often. I use it for EVERYTHING and for every pet in our home - even our lizards.
Do you have a good rabbit book? Try "Storey's Guide to Raising Rabbits" by Bob Bennett. KW Cages also has a nice selection but start with Bob's book.
Don't wait to separate your ill ones and get treatment. Good luck!
they have a cold
well...yes like sarah said they seem to have a cold...just watch them, make sure where ever you have them is in a good spot, head wise, not too much sun ect. keep an eye on them, keep them clean(and their cages clean) provde fresh water, and perhaps, mineral treat or w/e for extra vitmins and stuff...and just wait til they get better...btw, i dont think you need to do all of those...use ur own judgement
Amber's got the right answer on this one, and as an important note: RABBITS DO NOT GET COLDS.
