Bertie not eating! Update - seems fine now!

He had his pellets with his usual greedy gusto but is now not eating. Not even a dandelion. I had a meeting so was late serving his greens. I'm hoping it is a temporary huff but he has been moulting very heavily for a few weeks.

I hope he starts eating. Keep giving him his favorite treats. But don't wait too long. I suggest you go to the vet after a few hours. I hope he don't need. I'm sending too much vibration. Xxxxxxxxxx
 
Poo out fine overnight. A few with signs of fur, which is normal for moulting times. I'm trying to get him moving in the hope of loosening things up!
 
Coriander fresh picked from the garden has been accepted. I'm going to change his tray so that I can monitor output!
 
Gass buildup? Sometimes it is yous a temporary thing once gass passes they feel much better and star to eat just fine. Tummy massage and simethicone helps.

I also find that my rabbits tend to eat slower or messier when spurs need to be filed down. But sometimes I get surprised with overnight change from nice poops, eating hay to "i don't wanna eat at all". (last case was like this).

He's eaten some pellets and seems brighter. Maybe it was gas and my annoying him into moving has dislodged it!
 
Glad Bertie seems better now. Hopefully it was just a temporary cease in nomming and normal service is now resumed xxx
 
Bertie now seems to be absolutely fine. I wonder if the issue may have been huff-related as he normally has his greens earlier.

Frankly I have no idea. I am not very experienced with rabbits, I'm new too. It's nice if he's all back to normal. You do not unfollow him though. But people sometimes experience indigestion or unhappiness. Rabbits may not be the same every day.
 
Phew just caught this thread, but pleased to hear that Bertie seems fine now, they do love to worry us !
