This morning Pickles was not hiself, he didn't want his treat or move when i went into his indoor hutch. He was just lying down at the back. I picked him up which he doesn't usually allow you to do and I've check him, there are no sores, swellings that I can see, his breathing is ok, no head tilt, eyes seem ok. I put him down and he sunngled up in the corner again. So not like him he is usually hte first at the food bowl.

So what i've done is I've sat him in his travel hutch with loads of hay, and a bowl of food and some water, could this be GI stasis??? I'm not sure how much he is pooing as he lives with his brother gordon.

I just dont know what to do.

You need to take him to the Vet this morning. Meantime keep him warm. If he will hop about a bit then encourage him to do so but do not attempt syringe feeds etc until he has been examined by your Vet.

Good luck
