all four rabbits suddenly acting weird

[Pops]

hi all!

i need a bit of advice. i haven’t updated my profile in a while, but i have four rabbits that are happily bonded and have been for over a year. i believe my last update was when i was fostering the triplets. well.. they decided they all wanted to be a big happy family.

about a week and half ago, they all went to the vet for their injections and a general check up. since then, they’ve all become very antisocial towards me. they’re still eating, pooping, drinking, etc.

usually when i’d come home, they’d follow me everywhere. they’d devour their breakfast and dinner like nobodies business and they’d get especially excited for when it was pellet time – they’d go crazy and turn into a little bunny moshpit.

ever since the vet, they’ve been very antisocial. they don’t want a bar of me, they’re not excited for food or treats. they are still eating but they’re just not excited for it (i try and switch it up a bit every now and then so they dont get bored). they all just want to hang out in their bunny castle or under the bed.

is this something i should be concerned about? should i possibly take them back to the vet? or are they just annoyed and ignoring me?

thanks everyone!!

Mine get like that whenever they are disrupted. They are currently not speaking to me because I went on a holiday last week and they stayed in a Bun Hotel.
Try lying on the floor near them for a while and letting them explore you. Some calm bonding time will let them know you aren’t some scary person wanting to snatch them up and drag them to be stabbed with needles at every available chance! You are still just their hooman 
