Hi,
Is it possible for a bun to get homesick? Peter had been at boarding for 4 days and I collected him yesterday. The lady said he seemed like a different rabbit not as bubbly as usual and seemed anxious and stressed. He had eaten , drunk, pooed and wee'd as norm ( although I noticed there was a piece of unbeaten carrot- unlike him). I brought him home, put him in his run and he bolted straight to his fave box, I offered him a fenugreek crunchie but he turned his nose up. I kept an eye on him and within an hour he seemed his normal self, running riot and had eaten the crunchie. Since then though he just hasn't seem 100% him, he's eating etc but not with the usual gusto , binkying bonkers like usual, just doesn't seem quite right? He's laying around as normal, not sitting hunched up etc.
I'm going to continue to keep an eye on him.
He's been to the boarding place a few times before, journey is less than 5 mins. The only thing I wondered is if it could be due to the last time he went away was for bonding and sadly that involved lots of fighting could that have caused his anxiety?
