Basically i had 2 rabbits living together, one died on saturday the other hasn't eaten since(we think). He's has basically gone all limp and lifeless. We are not sure if he is in some sort of deep depression or if he is also ill. I don't think he is ill cos the rabbit that died had been unwell for a while and suffered fur loss, weight loss. Whereas this rabbit seems ok.
What can i do to help him? he has almost gone into himself deep inside, we have put him with his 2 children to try and bring him out of himself.
Please i need help urgently, i don't want to lose him aswell.

I had something similar once with my rabbit Sugar, he stopped eating, went all limp etc I thought he was on his way out as he was old so kept him warm and just kept trying to feed him, eventually he ate carrot tops and then after that kept eating and was fine again in a couple of days.

When I took him to the vet she said something must have stressed him out which had caused his guts to stop working (the stress of your other rabbit dying may have done this) sometimes their guts start up again and sometimes they dont I would take him to the vet as they may be able to give something that will get things going again...if this is the problem.

Just try giving him his fave veg/treat, if you can get him eating before you can get him to a vet then it'll definately help until you find out what the problem is

I can't describe it very well but he's just not there, its like he's died inside. he's hardly holding himself up, let alone be interested in eating. i have a syringe but don't know what i can feed him through it?

Try giving him weetabix with water not milk through the syringe. Its not ideal but will mean he has something inside him till you can get to the vets.
