Sleepy bunny - poss moulting??

S

Silly 'bunny mummy'!!!

Mama Doe
Hi everyone, would moulting cause my 11mt old bunny to be a bit more sleepy than usual, she is moulting a lot as she is loosing her baby coat as well as her winter one, could this cause her to be a bit more sleepy? She is eating and pooing normally and has a bright eye but just very sleepy. she is normally very active and lively. Her husbun is normal and is running around and eating well. Any ideas what could be wrong?
 
hmmm well unless she too hot and just chilling I would keep eye on her it might just be she needs a day off today.
I would advise you to get pineapple juice what we drink and allow both buns some start with little amount. Mine get a bit every week and more during moults. Pineapple helps break down furballs also good for stomach pains.
If she has ate too much fur during cleaning herself then she may have bad stomach. Just keep eye on her and obv if she did get worse then take to vets but as long as she is eating and drinking and moving around a little at least this is ok.
 
I was told from a lady who runs a rescue but most recently winnie had bloat and our vet advised as much pimeapple juice as he could have as its also good as an anti inflammatory and produces good bacteria in stomach. So try a little everyday with them both untill moults over obv start little as it might give runs although mine have been fine. You can also get pineapple biscuits from pets at home if they dont like the juice but not sure how good they are.
 
if you wish to use pineapple juice stick with fresh pinapple, and only use a small amount, as with introducing any foods it has to be done carefully, also a good brush everyday even for just a min or two, is better than nothing, :D
 
yep thats fine, maybe stick in a bowl, instead of there water bottle, with a little roojm temp water, buns seem to prefere room temp water
