Activity

He does get his nails clipped regularly and the last time he got it trimmed was like a week ago. When he climbs on my lap the nails feel pretty blunt, so that’s why I was suspecting it was some sort of skin issue instead.

Rabbits are crepuscular so they are naturally active early in the morning and in the evening. Afternoon is usually sleepy time. Most rabbits will adapt to a schedule that reasonably follows their natural habits. I would keep up the routine of giving her access to playtime in the evening.

It may be a sign that his nails need to be cut too. Rabbits will naturally scratch their ears with their back feet when grooming. Claws that are super sharp can easily cause an accidental scratch.

My rabbits don’t groom their stuffie after drinking, but they do it whenever they pass it. I’ve always interpreted it as them caring for their stuffie, or accepting it as one of their own?
