need advice!!

fed my bunnys yesterday evening and charlie didnt come out to eat it, she usually charges straight out, i checked their toilet corner and their wee was very orange/red which i know can be caused by too much carrot but i wouldnt say they'd had that much lately could anything else cause this??
checked them this morning and about half the food was gone, im guessing this was Alfie cos and hes been eating hay all day like normal, anyway charlie did take some treats from me and i did catch her munch a bit of spring greens so i thought she was ok and didnt take her to vets.
shes been lying around on her belly most of the day and neither of the bunnys were interested in dinner but alfie is still eatin hay. saw charlie do some very small poos earlier. i have brought them both inside for the night so i can see whos eatin what and also see if i can hear charlies belly but so far i haven't heard anything. i will take both of them to the vets tomorrow morning but i wanted to know if there was anything i could do tonight??? i've never had any problems like this before so really in need of advice

thanks

Awwh poor Charlie

Red/orange wee can be caused by allsorts of things that bunnies eat

I once rushed Lottie to the vets because of red wee to be told it was because she had been eating 'weeds' basically out of the grass :?

As for her not eating, i would be rather worried :? Is she not eating anything? Have you tried dandelion leaves? These normally encourage buns to eat.

I would put a heatpad in with her if you have one, it may help her tummy. Does her tummy feel bloated?

Sending lots of get well vibes xXx

thanks Becky, i just got rid of all the stuff i had taken from the garden incase that was what caused the problem but have got the dandelion leaves and some lemon balm back out the bin and Charlie took a big dandelion leaf straight away and eat it all. she didn't want any more so have just left some for them but its a start

You need to separate them so you can tell how much poos is out from ea. bun, and if possible, measure the water see how much is drank.
