Hi,
My bunny is behaving a bit unusual this morning and I'm wondering if it is anything to worry about or maybe I just woke him at the wrong time...
Basically when I put his food down he didn't sit up as usual to eat it but stretched his back legs out behind him as he does when relaxing and then ate from that lying position, it looked rather odd.
He always likes to sit with his tummy close to the ground, maybe to stop me from lifting him up (which I don't do but he was a rescue bunny so might have a bad experience), but this was unusual. He ate less than usual but did then hop to the hay box which looked normal and started eating hay.
So I'm happy that he is eating but I wonder what this could mean if anything. He let me touch all of his back, legs, tummy, so I don't think anything is hurting him. I'll keep an eye on him of course but I wonder if this is something to worry about? I don't want to scare him with the vet either if this is nothing... He is a mini-lop, about 2 years old, and lives indoors by the way.
Thanks very much!
Andrea
