I am hoping that I am not just being an obsessive, hypochondriac bunny mum
I went out about an hour ago to feed the rabbits - Indi tucked straight into the brocolli as normal, but Phoenix was sat hunched up in the run looking a bit spaced. i picked her up and put her in the shed with Indi next to the brocolli, but she showed no interest and got grizzly when i put some under her nose, which is unheard of for her.
I brought her in and checked her over - moving around normally and seemed a bit brighter, ate a carroty but not interested in anything else. Heart rate was 160 bpm, temp is normal, some gut sounds but not as much as Indi. Not gassy/bloated. Had a good feel of her abdomen but didnt find anything abnormal. Tried tempting her again with food, and again with Indi and she eventually came around and ate a chunk of carrot, a chunk of brocolli some dandelion leaves and a bit of grass.
She really perked up so i've put them both out on the grass for a run around and she is eating the grass. no poo's or wees yet. Weird thing is she is acting a bit odd - they both always get excited when you approach the run, but she is acting like she is desperate to get out, ripping out the grass and climbing the bars when i go over. I picked her up for a while and she settled but them got agitated again. They have water and a litter tray in the run.
Assuming she carries on eating normally, what can be wrong with her? should i leave them to settle down? She seems to be quite "needy" but i dont know why?!
sorry for long post, any suggestions or ideas? i'll go and check on them soon.
