  Hi friends!!
  
  I just adopted a bunny about 5 days ago and I noticed the day after I got him that he was limping a bit. He puts all the pressure on his right back foot and not the left when he is hoping. I’ve touched it and felt around and he hasn’t reacted negatively to my touch with a little pressure. He loves to run around a lot and still uses that limping leg to ich is face and is able to stand up on both back legs. His eating habits are the best I’ve ever seen them now that he is more comfortable. He is more friendly and hyper that I have seen him the past few days. Can they just naturally have wonky legs sometimes? I’m not sure if I got him like this or he is hurt…. If he is, I’m also concerned about vet visits because I am a college student and can’t afford it, but I don’t want him in pain.

  Where did you adopt him from? Have you talked to them about your concerns? Maybe they could help you out if he needs to see a vet.
  
  I think if he has a limp, whether he is using it or not, it should def be checked out.
