I like to think I am quite in tune to my rabbits but at the moment Blousy my mini lop has me a bit baffled.
she isn't exactly ill but she is acting strangely.
She is pretty quiet and subdued, outwardly I can't see signs of pain or discomfort. Probably not as hyper as normal but she is moving about, grooming herself etc.. no hunching or poorly tummy signs.
she is eating but again there isn't the usual enthusiasm and she isn't eating as much.
I am wondering if she could be a bit off it because of her moult.. I have this with one of my others but not had it with her before.
I was in 2 minds as to whether to take her to the vet to be on the safe side. But she hates being caught and held and gets really stressed in the carrier so I don't want to take her for the sake of it.
I also keep thinking she isn't getting worse, if she was il surely she would be going downhill. she is eating, pooping etc.. so do I just keep a close eye on her?
What would you do?
