  So my bun (mini lop) Hero last night did something very odd, ran into a wall a few times. My bed is low to the ground and near two walls and she likes to walk in the `tunnel path` between my bed and the wall a lot. Last night she thumped into the wall. I figured she must have gotten confused as to her surroundings since the lights were off so I put one light on for her, but I heard her hit into the wall again. It wasn`t a full-blown run into the wall, but enough for me to hear a loud `knock`.
  
  I put some pillows down in the area where she had been hitting her head and I heard her do it one more time but than she went about nesting in the pillows. I`m concerned however because today she hasn’t left one of her little `caves` under-ish my bed. Usually she sleeps under the couch during the day. She also let me brush her which normally she runs from.
  
  She is walking around just fine under there, and I placed a bowl of food and of water under with her which she ate and drank some of.
  
  Vet? Dazed? Has your bunny ever run into the wall a few times?

  Is she pooping normally too?
  
  I think you might take her to the vet, sounds to me like something isnt right. My boy knocked into walls sometimes, but he had poor eyesight and it was normally mid binky, but knocking into walls coupled with the hiding away and acting so subdued leads me to believe that she might have an ear infection or something up with her eyes?
  
  I really think a vet visit is a good idea, just to be safe

  I haven`t seen her poop thus far, but I did come upstairs to see her hopping back over to her cave under the bed so its possible she left to use the litter box. I`ll set up an appointment with the Vet, I was thinking possibly an ear infection though she doesn`t have any of the other signs.
  
  Thanks so much for the help!

  Yep. Definitely vet asap. Walking into walls could also be an early sign of the neurological effects of a parasitical infection. Although I’m hoping for what Dface suggested – an easy to treat ear issue. ((((((Hero))))))
