I've just got a new bunny - 2 days ago- he's a dwarf lop with no name yet!! But I've just started to notice that he sways his head about really slowly when he is sitting still. He's fine in every other aspect, eating drinking etc. I've never had a rabbit do this before does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? It's a very slow sway from side to side and only when he is sitting still i'm quite concerned about this, so any information or advice would be great! Thanx

ive never heard of that before! maybe he is just nervous!
Umm, red eyed rabbits sometimes sway their head due to bad vision but is not usual to see this in a brown eyed bun. I think a vet checkup is in order just incase its early symptoms of something more serious. If he is going for his jabs soon you can ask them to check then
