  It’s usual for bunnies to be a bit subdued after a neuter, so that’s not unexpected. It’s great that you’re monitoring what they’re eating. 75% sounds ok, but watch and make sure that he continues eating and pooping. If he stops doing either, then you might need to take him back to the vets.
  
  Did the vet give you any painkillers?
  
  A bunny’s diet should be 90% green hay, a small portion of pellets, and 2 cups of greens per 6lb of bunny. You can find more detailed info in the diet section here:

  no they didnt
  i read up on surgery before they went yesterday but it was too late. they seem completely fine to me thiugh, hopping around like their normal selves. i found one string of pearls and one kinda morphed poop that looked like two poops together. he was definitely pooping though. i tried to brush him but i guess he got all the hair before i could. i just fed him some pellets and im seeing if hes gonna eat it all

  It’s a shame they didn’t give you painkillers, but if they’re doing okay I guess it doesn’t matter. If Sam continues to have a reduced appetite then that is a sign he’s in pain, so it could be worth asking the vet to prescribe some for him. Most vets will prescribe loxicom (or metacam) as oral painkillers for rabbits.
