First thing just for the heck of it go back to your original feed. Rabbits can die quickly from feed changes. Do you feed hay? It's important to keep the gut moving. Enteritis will cause mucus covered diarrhea I believe.

I haven't dealt with coccidiosis or cocci in rabbits. We use barn lime. It will dry stuff out and kill it. I throw it on wet areas. Even Dr. Pol recommended it on his show when someone was dealing with coccidiosis. We used all the time when we had a dairy farm. Clean and throw some down.

I'm probably not much help. Hopefully your bunnies get better.

FYI - if you're talking coccidia as in eimera, like chickens get, bleach will not kill it on surfaces. The only thing I know of that's effective against it on surfaces is ammonia. You'd want to wash with detergent first, rinse well, then do an ammonia rinse. Very important not to mix bleach with the ammonia too - causes deadly gas. Lime on the soil is always a good idea when it's wet, too.

I'm sorry you lost your bunnies :(

If you end up suspecting something bacterial or viral and want to use bleach, make sure you scrub with soap first and rinse, bleach won't work if there's organic matter on the surface. It has to be cleaned, then sanitized.
