  Hello.
  
  I noticed my 3 year old cross breed lip acting strange this afternoon.
  
  She was hopping around, but she held up her left hind leg when hopping, every now and again. Sometimes it touched the floor, sometimes it didn’t…
  
  Is this something we need to be concernd about?
  
  She’s still happily taking treats, eating, drinking, and is currently sleeping.

  Did she fall, or jump from any height? Did you check her hocks? I would keep an eye on her and if you see any changes in eating/drinking/bathroom or additional signs of the leg getting worse take her to a vet. My bunny hurt her foot twice by jumping out of our arms, she healed up pretty quick. But you may also want to limit her activity

  I agree with Kiki. Keep a close eye. She could have hurt her foot. Buns can get sprains just like humans. If it goes away within a couple of days (and she keeps having a good appetite, good poop etc), I don’t think you need to worry. Check her feet and nails, look for nail breaks etc.
