  Tonight my rabbit shadow did a binky and hit the side of the pen. Then I gave him rubs and went to get him some of his favourite treats Ina bowl. But when he was standing eating the treats he kept lifting up his front left paw. After he started licking it. He’s been running around still and putting weight on his paw but I’m scared he hurt it. I’m about to go to bed so it’s not like I can take him to the vet right now (the vet is 1+ hours away). He seems fine now he hasn’t lifted it up or anything. I’m just really scared he hurt it. Is there anything I can do!

  If he’s still using the paw I think it would be unlikely that it is broken. It’s possible it is sprained or bruised. See how he is in the morning with it as if it’s just a light sprain or bruise he may be using it quite normally by the morning

  Thank you! He’s still eating,drinking,peeing and pooping which I read were good signs he isn’t in pain. Do you think he will be fine in a coup,e days? If he’s not should I take him to the vet? Should I take any things he can jump on out of his pen and cage?

  If in a couple of days he still seems in pain with it, limping on it or not using it very much it might be worth a vet visit
  
  And yes, that’s a good idea to remove items from his cage that he can jump on and off and out of his cage. Restricting jumping is a good idea
