  I was picking up Archie (young adult male rex) and he jumped out of my arms and hit his head on my wooden bedframe. I’m not worried about the height from which he jumped, he was less than a foot off the ground at the time; however, it made a really loud sound when his head made contact and I’m worried he might actually be injured.
  
  His pupils are the same size, he’s acting normal so far, and he ate the treat I gave him, but this all happened around 15 minutes ago and I don’t know how worried I should be or if it takes longer than that for the side effects of a head injury to kick in.

  I’d keep a close eye. Some head injuries do take some times before they give rise to symptoms, but I dont know how likely a thing like that would be in a rabbit.
  
  I think monitoring him and make sure he eats and is kept warm etc is the best thing for now.

  Thanks for the advice! And he seems to be perfectly fine, his behavior is completely normal and there’s no signs of injury or pain.
