  I noticed my rabbit seemed to be trembling in his hut. His body was vibrating. He then zoomed out of the hut after I pet him into the litter box and laid down squishing his stomach. I moved him and he just stayed there which he NEVER lets me do. The part that really made me think he’s sick is that I put a banana treat In front of him and he ignored it. He ALWAYS jumps just from hearing the bag.
  
  Just this morning he was running around playing.
  Just now he got out of the hut and is stretching a lot and sitting there. I gave him a piece of the treat and he took it. Not too long after that, I went over to pet him and he went to the hut and is backing away. I put another piece of banana in front of him and he ignored it. He even let me hold him without trying to escape which is odd.
  
  I don’t know if maybe his stomach is upset ?

  He could have a bit of gas or other gi distress. Turning down a treat is always something to pay attention to.
  
  My go-to is usually to give a tummy rub and simethicone (baby gas drops). This usually works within a couple hours if it’s going to work. If you have any syringes, you could also syringe some water to make sure he’s hydrated.
  
  Also try offering favorite wet veggies, encourage movement, and encourage hay eating.

  I just noticed this was a double thread. I saw Hazel responded in the other one, so I will close this one to avoid confusion.
