  Today I was watching my bun sleep and I noticed his pupils were super small. It was a bit frightening but I just wanted to confirm if this was normal?

  Normal, especially if the lighting is bright. However, nothing is creepier than a flopped bunny sleeping with their eyes open, the pupil constricted because the eye pointed toward the light.

  I would only be worried if his pupils were different or something like that. I think constriction of the pupils while sleeping with their eyes open is a normal reaction. Their eyes are open, but their eyes are trying to shut out the light.

  Ok, if it continues and is followed by something worse, like discomfort, I’ll look more into it.
