I just went to get my rabbit in from outside which is usually quite easy as he comes to greet me but tonight he seemed really uncomfortable and irritated as he was shaking his head a lot. I thought it might be something wrong with his ears, like there was something inside them because when my spaniel had a similar problem he acted in the same way. I picked him up and looked him over and he seemed fine, he let me touch and look at his ears so I thought it was fine. I put him away and fed him and it all seemed normal but then he went over to his litter tray and just sat there using it (I assume) for ages and ages, about five minutes and I don't think he moved at all in that time. Went away, came back and he was eating then back in the litter tray. I tipped it out so he had a clean one for the night and some of it was new but there just didn't seem like there was enough for the time he'd spent there. I know they sometimes eat it but honestly this behaviour is very unusual for him, have never seen him like it. Tried to ignore it then as I left him he started jumping around shaking his head really hard again. I don't think it's popcorning as I have seen that in my guinea pigs before (they live completely separately from him in an outdoor hutch) and it's not the same. I suppose he is quite young, about 8 months. I appreciate this could be something and nothing but I would much rather double check than wish I had.
