Hello 
, i'm new to this forum!
I got my bunny about 6 months ago, he's a netherland dwarf rabbit & probably like most of you on here I spoil him rotten & revolve my world around him haha!
A couple of days ago he began to show some discomfort by constantly lying down and sitting back up, over and over again. I've never seen him do that before so at first to me I just thought maybe he was hot in the weather and couldn't get comfy. It went on for a good 15 minutes and I was beginning to get worried. As he was doing this little poo's were shooting out, loads of them! After he'd pooped a lot he seemed okay and sat up and started playing again, so I thought maybe this was him being bloated or having some gas?!
Last night I got him out of his hutch (he comes to sit in the living room and I play with him every evening), we fed him some dandelion leaves and he ate them all fine and he began pop corning running round and playing as he usually does!
As soon as I put him back in his hutch later that night he straight away went to lie down again, trying to sit up but lying straight back down constantly. No poo's were coming out this time and it went on for a lot longer than the first time. I tried massaging his belly but he wouldnt let me do this for more than a few seconds at a time. He'd keep sitting up going to another corner of the hutch and lying back down again, always trying different positions and he'd never stop moving.
There was no heavy breathing and he wasn't making any noises, I sat up with him whilst it was going on for maybe an hour-ish until he began sitting up again and washing himself.
I saw this morning he had done some poo and he is playing again. But i'm still worried as this is the second time in 2 days it's happened. Does anybody know if this is something serious?
I'm sorry i've rambled on forever, I thought if I noted everything down that i've done somebody might see something that i'm doing wrong or understand why hes been acting this way.
thank you for reading!
