  I’m a bit concerned as over the weekend Sweaty Bettie Bean has gone from loving her cuddles and head rubs, to hiding out under the bed, only JUST appearing when she hears the rustlings of food. She hasn’t even popped to the side of the bed for her bedtime rubbin’s. She seems very skittish yet hasn’t been frightened by anything out of the ordinary. I got under the bed to make sure she was ok this morning and she sat staring at me, waiting to charge, yet normally she would race over and shove her head in my hand for a nose scratching. However she did appear just as i was leaving and wanted attention as usual, but she just doesn’t seem "happy". Brian is his usual self, in fact he is a lot more attention craving these last few days. He’s even been up to the living room several times for a good old nose about, whereas Bean hasn’t been anywhere near, prefering to stay in the bedroom, which is MOST unlike her, she’s normally the first to appear at the living room door, with Brian following not too far behind.
  
  Any ideas? (she’s eating and pooping normally, just being unnervingly cautious)

  hmmmm…something could be bothering her. That is how one of my bunnied began his episode of stasis. He didn’t come running over to me in the morning which he always does, and just wasn’t himself so I took him to the vet. I think they thought I was just being my usual neurotic self, but low and behold he was going into stasis. I’m sure Bean is ok, just keep a close eye on her and if she refuses a treat tonight then have her checked out!

  Cheers me dears! Oh good god i hope not. She’s been eating parsley with her usual gusto so she’s not off her food as yet. It’s clean out night tonight which means i have a better chance of seeing if she is ok as i never get any peace when i clean “their” room out, you’d never believe it was actually OUR BEDROOM!! lol

  It definitely does seem like something is up. Just keep a watchful eye on her. Good luck and hopefully it is nothing serious.

  i agree… it sounds like something is bothering her. good that she’s still eating & pooping as usual. if she’s still not seeming ‘happy’ maybe you could give her a ‘once over’ and get a feel / listen of her tummy and check her for sores. hope she’s back to normal soon… poor dear!

  Well i got home and she seemed much better, but had left some runny poopsies for yours truly to clean up, so i’m hoping it was just a bit of a poorly tum. But I am keeping a close eye on her. She munched on some nettle so her eating habits aren’t affected.
