Muppet has started gnawing on the walls. He might be licking rather than gnawing. This is not normal behaviour for him (he's took a chunk out of the plaster in my room about two years ago, nothing since. He's not really a chewy rabbit, though he does like to remodel cardboard boxes).
Could this be an indication of some deficiency in his diet? A way of expressing tooth pain?
Background - he has spondylosis in his neck, so eating is difficult for him lately. He doesnt eat pellets anymore, he does eat veg/hay but more in the evenings than the morning (ie, he seems to find it easier to eat later in the day). I think he's getting a decent range of veg into him. He has lost weight as a result so I've started him on a teaspoon of porridge oats twice a day. They have avipro plus in their water.
I have also noticed that after eating he lies down flat for a short while - this seems odd if the problem is with his neck so I wonder if there is something else :? But his stomach seems to be functioning normally - he eats, he poos - he's not quite as cheerful as he was but then who is when their neck hurts. He's cheerful enough and doesnt seem unhappy.
