Behaviour change since Statis....

Hi everyone :wave:

Murray had statis a few weeks ago and recovered fully and is now in good health. However, his personality seems to have changed slightly, he is still a cuddly bun and his exercise and eating routine hasn't changed at all. It's just mood swings, sometimes he can look so grumpy :lol:

Since his statis bout he has bitten me twice (just little tester ones to say get out of the way!) and he has bitten my hubby this morning (it was feeding time tho :roll: ) That said it is unlike him to do it at all...

I am probably just being a paranoid bunny mummy but was wondering if anyone else (Jane :D ) had any experience of this or ideas on what I might be able to do to understand the little fluff ball!! :lol:

Thanks in advance,
Toni xx
 
Hello!

Do you know what was the cause of Murrays stasis? If it was an underlying problem causing him pain, then maybe the problem is still not sorted and its making him a bit snappy? (sorry I don't know the background)
 
Hi there - the vet said she could see no physical reason as to why he got it, and there was nothing wrong with his diet.

We have lowered the amount of carrot tops he has, maybe they were a kind of drug for him and he's coming down :lol: :lol:
 
Thought i would just bump this up to see is anyone else can help :D.

Maybe murray has PMT ;) :lol: (i know hes a boy :roll: )
 
Well like you say - you get a 'please move' nibble (quite normal for rabbits) and a bite if you don't feed them quick enough - when that happened to me I started using those little plastic dishes you get for cats - I have a load of them and just put a full one in, removing the empty one when it was safer :)

Thanks for that Elve, might try that....he seemed OK tonight, still a bit grumpy but had a big hug and loads of kisses (he fell asleep on my chest :love: ) and he seems a lot better when running around with Honey.

Maybe he is just having PMT (like Pringle said!!) and it's just coincided with the statis. I really don't think there's anything wrong with him, he's just going through a teenage stage! :roll: :lol:
