Beilidh's teeth..

I think they might be sore :?

(I know I posted on his other thread but thought I'd ask in health)

When he's eating his pellets I've notice he sort of eats with one side, and when he eats out my hand he moved round to one side as if he doesn't want to get it in that part of his mouth :? And he seems to take a little while to chew it, but that might just be me that thinks that.

Think is, when he eats anything else he just eats it normally. Except before he eats his hay he digs right into it with his face. I just thought it was a little thing he did, like a little quirk. I don't know though.

And today he's not ate very many pellets at all, he usually digs right in. But he's eating everything else fine.

We're gonna watch him and see what he's like tomorrow.Anyone know what could be wrong with him? Of course I'm a bit worried because he's eating funny, but its really only his pellets he eats funny (besides the diving into the hay) Or is this just normal? Thanks in advance xxx

If he is eating hay/veg and pooing he should be OK overnight but I would get the Vet to look at his teeth tomorrow. Some Rabbits go off pellets first if they have Dental problems. Others go off hay but will eat pellets. The fact that you are noticing something that does not seem right means a Vet check is necessary. Good luck :)

Thank you, we'll probably phone tomorrow. :)
 
Let us know how you get on at the vets :)

When Ben had dental problems I noticed that he went off his hay first then his pellets, its definately worth a vetinary check up though :)

Sending vibes your way xx
 
Thought I'd just tell you all that Beilidh's been to the vet, she checked his teeth and tummy and bum and stuff, she just said not to worry because he eats lots of hay, grass, veg and herbs. She said pellets were just like treats to him; he doesn't need them, and his teeth are fine.
(I'm funnybunnyabc's cousin btw, she's not been on..so she said I could say on here)
