  My sisters bunny loki isn’t eating or drinking i even tried to give him his one of his favorite treats: a grape, but he won’t even eat that! but the odd thing to me is that he’s acting perfectly fine and he binkys all the time and another thing this morning his ears were slightly cold but i warmed them up with a blanket. and my sister said that he was eating hay last night. i think it might be because my sister doesn’t clean his food or water bowls and they were kinda dirty so i think that’s might what made him not want to eat or its because his cage wasn’t clean, so i made her clean her cage and i know rabbits aren’t supposed to have cages but my parents make them have cages and i can’t do anything about it cuz they said i can’t do anything about it till i’m like 18 and im not.

  It has been a while since you posted. How is the bunny doing now? Has he eaten anything? Has he pooped?
  
  Sudden disinterest in favorite treats is usually a sign of gas or gastric distress. Gas causes pain in their stomach and that makes them not want to eat anything. Sometimes bunnies can work the gas out on their own and they start eating again. Sometimes they need a little help (simethicone, tummy massages, etc.) to work it out. If your bunny hasn’t eaten in 12-24 hours, then it is considered an emergency. Gas pain can lead to stasis if it goes unresolved.
