Behaviour Changes

[Alex]

Hello, I have a 2 year old female Holland lop. The past few weeks (also change of season/colder and shorter days) my bunny hasn’t been eating as much and has been laying down and sleeping more. The past week she has peed twice on my carpet and once in her cage outside of her litter (she has gone in her litter as well). I’m not sure if this is a seasonal change or if something else is going on. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Those are all “I’m uncomfortable” behaviors Wick displays when he has dental issues. It may not be dental issues, but there is a high chance of an underlying health problem. Lethargy is a common sign of this. Considering the lack of eating though, dental shouldn’t be ruled out.

How are her poops?

With rabbits, changes like this are enough to warrant a vet visit, IMO. Especially if she is normally super reliable about using her litterbox normally. Urinary issue may be considered but peeing outside box is not always related to that specifically. It can often be something they do when not feeling well, as Wick mentioned.
