:wave:Hi everyone. Well after a sleepless night I went into the kitchen just now and he has eaten the carrot I left for him and as munching a bit of hay. He is hopping round and as soon as opened the kitchen door made a beeline for escape!
He is now nibbling on a treat stick!
It all seems very strange but maybe it was just some gas. He is off to the vet tomorrow anyway for neutering/nails/teeth so will mention it then.
Thank you all for your advice.

Hi all,
I am quite worried about Henry.
Upto an hour or so ago he was acting normally, eating, drinking and pooing as usual and being his naughty self. Then all of a sudden he jumped onto the sofa and did lots of poos and started to be very unsettled, lying down then sitting up and constantly shifting position.
He has been going from one side of the room to the other but won't settle and when he does lie down shifts around a lot. He didn't go near his bowl of hay which usually when I get it he is all over. Plus he isn't as keen on cuddles.
I also noticed that his heart is beating quite quickly although I appreciate it is hard to tell with rabbits about what is a normal heart rate!
His routine hasn't changed apart from the fact that we gave him some grass the kitty grow yourself stuff) which he had a normal amount of but this is the first time he has had it (apart from a few nibbles previously).
Help! I am so worried being a new owner.

Update - Just spoken to the emergency vet who said to see how he is in the morning and make an appt. then if I am still worried. They seemed to be glad that he had been pooing/eating normally upto this evening and that he was still moving round - mostly when encouraged. I really don't know but I do know that he is definatly not himself.
Any other advice out there or has anyone experienced similar things?
