Yes, it does look this rabbit had some really bad experience previously, or has some psychological issue !! He is becoming better by the day, allows us to pat him, has even left his area once to look for us when we were in another room and is getting lot more comfortable. Some nose nudges too...

Thanks for letting me know. His poop pellet count is no more than 60-70 pellets and just once in the night. he prefers eating in the night and eats just a few stalks of hay during the day....if no one is watching! His social behaviour has improved, he is much more trusting now BUT I still...

Thanks for replying. He is eating a bit of hay. I have provided him with his old hay and pellets. First day he ate pellets too but today just a little bit of hay. He did eat a bit more overnight so perhaps he is still feeling lost and does not want to eat during the day. His pushing away food...

Thanks everyone who replied. 48 hours after the extremely grim prognosis, I am happy to report that the rabbit seems to be pulling along fine and is looking much better. He has been eating mostly greens, a few pellets but hates the pet store provided hay and just does not eat it. My wife and...

Good Folks, I bought a 10 week old NZ male bunny from a seller who had crammed quite of rabbits in one place, not well insulated from weather. The rabbit was drooling a lot, sneezing right from day one and made very heavy sound while sleeping and often otherwise as well. I was hopeful that he...
