Hi guys
im new to the forum so please be kind. I have recently become worried about our rabbit called Hoppus. His behaviour (Generally at night time) has become very strange. Normally he's a placid rabbit that just chills out in one of his hiding holes but recently he has become quite agitated running around smashing into things (slippery floor) stamping his feet as if he's scared / worried when there is NO percieved threat or loud noise. However if i go and sit with him give a little cuddle etc he's ok until i leave the room then after 30 mins or so he'll stop, then randomly start up again.
Some info:
Hoppus is a neutered 7 year old Netherlands Dwarf lopp. He's a house rabbit that has the run of the downstairs. He's eating and drinking ok (perhaps drinks a lot although i cant confirm if all the water is drunk or spilled). He's fed a varied diet with hay, cereal and veg plus grass.
We have 2 very lazy cats who he's grown up with and arn't bothered by him. 1 soppy adult dog which tends to steer clear. We're experienced rabbit keepers (on number 4) and i believe look after him very well. normally he keeps him self to him self unless some opens the fridge...
Im worried he's actually going nuts! As if he's seeing / hearing things that dont exist!
any advise please?
