Hi there
I haven't posted in this forum for a good few years so I'd better say hello again!
A couple of nights ago Keiko, our female mini lop, didn't eat her pellets as usual but ate fine about an hour later. And then ate her veg too without problems.
The following day she ate fine.
Tonight, she ate a couple of pellets then refused the rest and has been sitting around looking a bit sorry for herself. I gave her a bowl of water about half an hour ago which she drank quite a bit of, but still refuses to eat any more pellets.
I tried offering her some greens, which were refused, but she was quite happy to eat some basil.
Her brother, Mochi, is eating just fine.
Has anyone else encountered unusual feeding like this? If she continues I'll take her to the vet in the morning.
Oh, one other thing that may be upsetting her is that we have a 4 month old baby who has just started to emit a wonderfully high shrill. It sounds very much like a rabbit distress scream. As Mochi is deaf (or certainly hard of hearing) he's unlikely to be affected by loud noises but Keiko would definitely hear it.
All the best
Trevor.
