bunny stuck in a small hole emergency please help

[marshmallow]

my bunny is stuck in a small hole in our storage room I don’t know if its stuck but im worried what do I do should I just leave him to figure it out or should I help if I should help what do I do

[Bam]

If he’s not showing signs of acute distress, Id leave him to figure it out himself while I observe from a distance. Intervention could cause him to panic and perhaps hurt himself.

Rabbits are naturally inclined to get themselves into really small, narrow places, most likely because they are burrowers and feel safe in whatever resembles a tunnel.

So I think I’d place a few really yummy treats outside of where he is, and when he emerges, I’d be quick to block off the narrow spot.

Of course, if he seems like he really is stuck, you must help him get out. Try to be very, very calm and patient so you dont scare him.

I can’t see him he is stuck in a hole that goes strait and then turn right the only way I can get to him is to break through a bit in storage unit I can only see a narrow passage and then a small hole at the end I can see all this through a small hole

[marshmallow]

his face is away from the exit and he can’t turn around the hole is as small as your two hands together forming a circle he was stuck since last night

 

[Bam]

Goodness. Can you reach him with your hand? Could he get further in if you do?

[marshmallow]

no I can’t reach or see him at the end of the  hole there is another turn that I can’t reach or see could he die……..

 

 

[Bam]

He does need to come out of there, sooner or later. Could you get someone to help you?

[marshmallow]

he is slowly moving out I think he will figure it out by himself. Ill keep you posted

[Bam]

Please do keep us posted! Would be so lovely if he comes out by himself!

Most of the time, they aren’t actually stuck. They just don’t want to come out. You would be surprised as how well they can turn themselves around, even in a small space. I agree with Bam, try coaxing him out with some treats.

I think the bigger concern would be whether or not this is a dead end. Is there a chance he could get somewhere else from this space? Like inside a wall or crawlspace?

[marshmallow]

hello! I totally agree with you lbj10 but its been 3 days and im starting to worry more and more I tried everything at this point I don’t know what else to do……… after I saw his tail I calmed down then he went back in. im figuring out a solution id really appreciate it if you would give me some. <3

 

[Bam]

Is there any type of treat he can’t resist? It’s the only good way to get him out voluntarily I think.

[marshmallow]

he loves lettuce so I put some there if he dose not come out then I will just ask someone to come and completely strip the built in storage cus he needs to eat and drink

 

[Bam]

I’m not sure lettuce will be enticing enough. Maybe a few slices of apple or some fragrant herbs, like basil? Rabbits also love raisins and rolled oats, but those type treats dont have a strong scent.

I do agree you have to get him out and it’d be great if you could get someone to help you.

[marshmallow]

Ill try those if he dose not come out by tomorrow then I will take the storage apart. Thank you for all the help you gave it really means a lot ❤️

 

 

[Bam]

I really hope you’ll get him out, safe and sound. Rabbits really are expert at getting themselves into trouble. I think it’d be best of you go about things slowly and calmly. I still hope you can coax him out with the aid of some yummy treats.

If he’s in a place where you dont sleep, place a bowl of water and some hay near where he is before you go to bed. He might venture out during the night when he knows he’s alone, for a drink and a nibble.

[marshmallow]

will do thanks so much <3

My bunny always hides when she’s scared… Maybe he smells something that scares him?
