I cleaned out the rabbit hutch and now Buster is a bit easier to get hold of since his op or you can just touch his back he will run back into the hutch, I just let them roam around the garden while I do so. Its enclosed so they can't get out and I block off the shed so they can't get under it. Well normally when you go out both are scrabbling at the door like little puppies. Only Rosie wasn't. I let Buster out and fussed with Rosie ... she didn't come to greet me as normal, she was very quiet in the back of the hutch. She let me stroke her, but kept turning round in circles and flopping on her side .. as if she couldn't get comfortable. She refused some pellets and even a slice of cucumber .. which then began to concern me because she never refuses food!! The entire time I cleaned out the hutch she stayed quiet up in the house part of the hutch. It was then feeding time and I had to scoop her up in front of the bowl. She did eat .. but not much then hopped to the litter tray and was eating hay. Progress but she still had me worried .. even though she was eating. I checked on her a few times last night before bed and she was happily hopping around eating hay etc. So did go to bed happy that she had perked up. This morning she was her normal self .. scrabbling at the door to come out ... they both had there hopping around the garden while I swept up any poop on the floor, sprayed vinegar as Buster the little sod still pees in his corner when we have the bigger tray!!! When they heard the bowl click on the floor both came running as usual for food. So am more relaxed about her today. I will keep an eye on her still though but for now she seems her normal self. What could it have been??? Do rabbits have off days?? Could she have been spooked as my eldest and his friend were in the garden just before and were fairly loud as kids are???
