Some bunnies seem to have stomachs of steel. Still… it’s not good for them to eat non-food items. If your bunny is actually eating the fleece, you should take it away.

Aww, cute! How big are they?

That’s good. I’ve read that if a gastric distress were to happen, it’d show signs within 6 hrs due to how fast rabbit digestion is. I’d say he’s likely fine at this point unless you notice anything unusual.

Okay. I put fresh hay in his cage everyday, and have a rabbit experienced vet near me. I woke up this morning and saw that he drank a ton of water like eat more than he normally does is this good or bad?

Okay, thank you so much! I feel so relieved. She still eats and poops just fine. I was just worried cause she’s always tired. She runs around the house, does one or two binkies, and she’s done for a while. I was thinking maybe she could be like this cause it’s hot or just plain lazy. I just wanted to get another opinion. Thanks again!

Based on what you’ve mentioned, I think heat may be the main factor here, especially if she’s always been like this. The signs/huffs can actually be a sign of relaxation too. As long as her health-related behaviors (energy, poop, pee, appetite) seem normal/unchanged, it sounds like she is sighing in the heat of the moment, perhaps!

1.) Yes and yes. I took her to Northwood Animal Hospital. They are very experienced with bunnies.

2.) I was told by the rescue that she was 10 months (now is 11 months). But the vet said she thinks she’s around a year to a year and a half (not that big a difference).

3.) Yes she is spayed. I got her 5 days after she was spayed, so she’s been fix…[Read more]

I know you’d like answers, but a few questions first to narrow down what might be going on:

1. Is the vet you saw a 1) rabbit-experienced AND 2) exotic veterinarian?
2. How old is your rabbit?
3. Is your rabbit spayed? If so, how long?
4. Has she always been this way?
5. What is her diet (content + quantities)?
6. Is it relatively hot where she is housed?

If he is eating, that’s a really good sign. I would keep monitoring and if you notice any health behaviors decline (eating, energy, poop, general body language), you may want to go to a vet (rabbit-experienced and exotic, if possible). Keep pushing hay and water. Perhaps refresh his hay if you haven’t recently. Also, getting him to move around a…[Read more]
