Hi, I have just bought myself my second house bunny after my other one died (over a year ago now) He was a rescue rabbit but I decided to get a baby this time. I got her on Saturday but I have been very concerned that she seems a little 'laid back'. She does bat an eyelid at my Jack russell dog or the kids and crawls on all fours like a cat rather than hopping. If her cage is open or the lid off altogether she doesn't even attempt to get out. I started to think that she couldn't see. If you wave your hands in front of her face she doesn't even flinch. I took her to the vets today and it turns out that my suspisions were right and she is blind.
The vet said to just see how she goes because she doesn't know how it will affect her. Does anyone else have a blind rabbit? She seems fine and quite happy. She is eating well She's massive and only 14 weeks old (she is a french lop).
I'm just concerned about exercise because obviously she will get very big. I wondered how I can make her life more enjoyable.
Many thanks Debbie
