I picked up a new foster bun named Hawaii at noon today.  I brought her back, she wandered around a tiny bit, and then I left her alone so she could sleep.

Right now it’s 10pm, and she still hasn’t really woken up and done much.  She came out to have tiny bits of hay, and came out to eat the veggies I put out for her, but then she retreats back to a corner of the pen and lays down.

I know that she might just be scared, but what concerns me is that she is laying down in like a “flopped” position (legs to the side) and ears down.  That seems concerning to me?  I thought buns only sit like that when they are relaxed, but clearly she’s not relaxed if she’s hiding in the corner and not doing much.

I’m worried maybe the hay I gave her is actually bad (I’ve had it for two months), or she’s going to go into GI stasis if she’s not eating much.  Am I right to be concerned or should I wait longer and see?
