        Every so often  Nutmeg sits with her head resting on the rim of her water bowl and sometimes she lays her head right on top of the water.  I don’t know whether she isn’t feeling well or if it is something serious.  She is eating well and pooping normal.  Does anyone have any ideas ?  thanks

          Bunnies like to rest their heads. My little guy likes to rest his head on my arm while he is sleeping on my lap. He also rests it on his stuffie, and his food bowl, and the side of his litter box. But his rear legs are weak. None of my other bunnies rest their heads on objects, and I read that bunnies with weak limbs feel more comfortable resting their heads on objects. It sounds like Nutmeg is just comfortable like that. But I would look at her rear legs. If she hops normally, doesn’t drag her limbs, doesn’t pivot, then she is just being extraordinarily cute.
