They look uncomfortable. Sometimes they sort of sway back and forth. I’m sure it’s going to be different with some rabbits, but my mini rex sits in kind of like a meatloaf position, but more upright, if that makes sense. My biggest clue with her is not always the body position but the unresponsiveness. She does not want to come out of her pen. She will sit in one specifc corner. Normally, she is very excited to see me, but if she doesn’t feel well, she does not stir. “Treats” have no effect on her.

Are you thinking Inkblot is in pain now?
