        Earlier today, I let Eeyore out of his cage while I was cleaning. But the only way to do so was to pick him up. When I put him back in, he hopped up onto his ledge and just stayed there. I put him back around 4 and it’s almost 9:00 now. I put his pellets into his bowl and he ate at least half of them. Other than that, he will squish himself up against the corner. I tried to put some hay up there, to see if he would eat it, and all he ate was a head. I’m just really worried that he’ll go into stasis I don’t have any critical care or baby food at the moment, or a carrier, as I used my friend’s. I’m really scared for his health

          Sorry for this now, but I removed the blanket and replaced it with a washcloth and now he has gotten down and is eating, drinking and binkying.Once again, sorry, I was freaked out

            Always good to post just in case! He may have been shooken up from being relocated and having his environment clean. Also, I know Wick won’t eat hay presented to him readily. He’s specific, so it needs to be fresh hay and the texture he likes, or he needs to establish himself that there’s nothing better to eat.

            Some rabbits are hay monster, and others are picky. It’ll be good to figure it what kind of hay and what process, offering technique, etc will do best to encourage hay diet!

              Apparently, Eeyore only likes a small part of his cage with a towel/washcloth ……and that’s usually where he goes pee XD
