  Hi there, I’m a newbie and first post. I’m worried about my girl rabbit. I have 2x rabbits a boy & girl Yumyum and Lola.
  
  I took Lola outside last night and when say outside I mean in the front court yard. Yumyum was fine and running around as normal and being his curious self. However when I put Lola down she and I sat down on the step she stopped running and started to spin in circles and wouldn’t stop, I could tell she was getting dizzy so I stopped her and held her until she became good again. I put her back down near me and she started doing it again. I brought her inside to make sure she was ok and when I put her down, she was completely fine. She went to her bowl and ate some food and drank water. I then put her back outside an hour later and she ran around normal no more spinning.
  
  Is this normal or is something seriously wrong with her?
  
  She eating and drinking normally, she doesn’t have a tilt head and I spoke to my house mates and they have never seen her with a tilt head. She is quite a small flopsy and she isn’t desexed as she not 1kg, going on 17 weeks now.
  
  She is very fluffy so she slips on the tiles at times but nothing to the extreme. She very affectionate and loves to be cuddled and picked up and she doesn’t mind being touched all over.
  
  I’m not sure what to do or what it mean, I’m concerned about her!

  That sounds scary. Was she moving her head weird when she was doing it?
  
  If I were you, I would take her to a vet just as a precaution. I don’t know what could have caused it but I’m always on edge with my babies.

  Was she spinning in circles? Or running in circles? Those are two completely different things. Spinning would be concerning, running would not.

  She wasn’t running in circles, like she was running but on the spot if that makes sense. Her head was moving a little but that was when she was dizzy and she stopped as soon as I held her to calm her. The weird part is when she stopped on my lap she would jump off and do it again.
  
  I am use to her running circles around me but that wasn’t the case, it was like she just was overwhelmed or something and she started to just run ad circulate on the spot until she was dizzy again.

  Yeah, I would get her checked out. It sounds as if she wasn’t having a seizure, but maybe her brain wasn’t connecting right.
