        After my two bunnies died. One a surprise the other loneliness. I got a little white girl that looks like she has mascara on. But she won’t eat her pellets, occasionally hay or forage. Now when she plays her stomach growls very loud and it is making  me worried, I don’t know what to do and she is only 10 weeks old. Help! Urgently!

          Phoenix, if your bunny is only 10 weeks you should really take her to a vet. She may have a stomach bug that needs treatment. It’s very very common in young rabbits and can be fatal.

          I think you made another post earlier today and I wrote you an answer about how to massage your bunny’s tummy and to give her baby gas drops, because the sounds her tummy makes makes me think she has a gas-problem, which in a bunny is a serious condition. But seeing that she’s only a baby, you should really call a vet. It would be terrible if you lost your new bunny as well. She sounds like a very pretty little hotot girl – a hotot rabbit is a white rabbit with black around the eyes.

            The coloration you’re describing your bunny has could be linked to megacolon, a congenital deformation of the large intestine which causes a large amount of different intestinal troubles, one of the most prominent of which is excess gas in the intestine (which can cause the rumbling you’re describing). Obviously, there are far more likely scenarios for a young rabbit (coccidia, for example – an intestinal or liver-based parasite that causes runny feces and other digestive symptoms that’s often exacerbated in young rabbits by the move to a new home – probably the stomach bug bam was referring to!).

            I would definitely take your bunny to a good vet that specializes in rabbits. Do her poops look normal, and are there a normal amount of them? Does she eat her hay with a good appetite? Does she eat treats when offered? She could also just not like her pellets or not be adjusted to her new home with you just yet, which could cause some tummy trouble due to stress. Still, it’s always a good idea to take an ailing young rabbit to the vet. They’re quite fragile, and waiting for too long to deal with any issues they may have could prove fatal to the young bunny. Most ailments that cause tummy troubles in young rabbits are treatable, if you catch them early enough!
