Re: Help! Rabbit not eating

That is exactly like Rory was just before I had to get him put to sleep - he was eating one day, and not the next. Is the bunny showing any signs of listlessness, limpness, head tily, incontinence etc? Rory had e cuniculi and it literally took him over in 2 days flat! I'd advise taking bun to the vet ASAP!

Re: Help! Rabbit not eating

hi there my baby boy does the exact same as yours.. he's a short haired dwarf.. 1 1/2 years old.. and every couple of weeks he goes off his pellets.. all he'll then eat is his hay and lots of fresh fruit.. after a while he goes back to the pellets again as well. he's currently doing it now and will only eat if i hand feed him strips of apple etc?

he is drinking a-lot though so i'm not too worried and we have a small fan to cool down the air temp for him and his missus.

have you tried dipping fruit etc in water? i found that helped get my boy back onto feeding.. and letting him lick small icecubes with fruit inside also helped... turns out he was too hot.

hope that helps.. *hugs* x

Re: Help! Rabbit not eating

I hope your bun turned out to be ok, my rabbit Black Jack stoped eating his hay and pellets about a year ago, took him to the vet (she is very rabbit friendly) and she told me I was feeding him to many greens/ veggies and fruits. Its like candy to a kid if you feed them to much on the good stuff they'll stop eating the stuff that is really good for them, like hay.
