New Kit
hi,
My bunny is a 6 year old lop who lives indoors. He has always enjoyed his food and will usually eat his whole bowl of food, will eat all his hay and his fave veggies- spinach, celery and brocolli. He always drinks quite a bit aswell.
He can gert a bit fussy about his food if he has treats such as chocolate drops which i tend to use for training.
The past 3 days he has just been picking at his food, hardly drinking from his bottle although he will drink from a bowl that i put down. he is only picking at celery and broccolli and tesnds to use the hay for a bed instead of eating it which he never usually does.
He also seems a lot more lazy than usual- he usually runs around frantically trying to get the attention of my cat but now isnt even bothered, he just cleans himself and lays down.
It doesnt seem like much but it os really odd behaviour for him- all i can tell my husband is "he just doesnt seem right"
He has no runny nose, eyes or anything that would indicate a health problem so not sure whats up?
Not sure if it's maybe a seasonal thing or if he's just getting old? he's always been very active, running aorund and exploring, just the past 3 days he would rather just lay down in his cage.

As has already been mentioned it makes them feel lethargic anyway, and they can have real problems passing the fur through themselves. I've been at the vets already this Spring with one of my buns for this exact reason.
