Warren Veteran
My bunny does this about every 2-3 months * I have had him for 18months) and having rushed him to the vet on two occasions and arrived with a bouncing healthy looking rabbit and was told they could't find anything wrong ! He has not done it for at least 2 months but last week lost his mate so I am super watchful and today he did his usual trick as follows.
He was let out of his cage as usual and ate his treat and some greens an had a run round. Then he just sits or lays looking really sleepy mostly with eyes closed and if I disturb him he gets very shirty and knocks my had away and goes back to sleep - he will not eat or drink. This lasts about 4-5 hrs by which time I am in panic mode and then he suddenly wakes up and is his usual bouncy self and starts eating and drinking again quite normally.
On the two occasions I took him to the vet as soon as we picked him up to put in the pet carrier he came to life and was perfectly fine even before we left the house. Both times they gave him a really good exam but could find nothing wrong.
Any ideas.
