  Hello!
  
  This is my first post on here although I have been a fan of this site for quite a while. Yesterday my little Netherland Dwarf was neutered. He seems to be fine, acting normal, eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom. I have a soft bed in there covered in a towel and a box of fresh bedding (carefresh natural) in his pen for him, yet he insists in laying in his hay.
  
  Should I be concerned about this? I don’t want him to irritate his stitches yet I also don’t want to remove his hay. What should I do?
  
  Thank you in advance!

  He should be just fine. Just make sure when you are checking his stitches that he doesn’t have hay stuck or it isn’t poking him. keep the hay fresh, too.

  As said above, keep an eye out that he isn’t irritating the stitches. But my bunny did the same, he might be laying in his hay so he has easy access to it – he doesn’t have to move his sore areas to eat! They’re funny, our buns, but that’s why we love ’em!
  
  Good luck, I’m sure he will bounce back quick enough!
