Hi there,
If we're classing an anorexic bunny as one that stops eating all the time, I've had experience of this with Alice.
Alice is 7, so fairly old and has only one tooth. Over the past 18 months since she had her eye removed we've had no end of problems keeping her eating. It seems that every 4 or 5 weeks almost on a cycle, she will stop eating. I try to coax her for a day with the Science Recovery liquid feed, she's great at taking that. I give her Infacol to help with wind and lots of tummy rubs. If there's no joy after this I take her to the vets and they check her over, declare there is nothing visibly wrong, give her Metaclopromide and instruct me to liquid feed her and keep encouraging her. Usually by that evening she's almost back to normal until the next month. Trouble is, when she does start eating again it's like she's making up for lost time and I worry that this yo-yo eating isn't good for her.
Anyway, to cut a long story short (sorry)!! Last time we ended up at the vets I asked if it could be lack of fibre in her diet that causes her gut to slow down to a point where she stops eating. Yes was the reply, so since them I have bought some Profibre for Rabbits made by protexin and I'm also mixing Allen & Page pellets in with her Junior Excel. Alice can just about eat pellets still, I think she sucks them. I also blend veggies with some Excel, A&P pellets and Pro-fibre.
Touchwood, this seems to be doing the trick. There's been no stuffing her face, just nice steady eating. We're at the 4 1/2 week point now, so fingers crossed she carries on eating well.
I'll add as well, Alice is like a different bun. I'm sure the lack of fibre caused her to be lethargic, she's like a baby bun now and leaps round the garden!! :lol:
