Spasm when my bunny wake up

[Ert000]

 

Merhaba, şimdi 6 aylık bir Hollanda cüce tavşanım var. Tavşanım uyandığında kasıldı. Aynı zamanda esniyor. Tavşanım acı çekmiyor. Veterinere gösterdim ama anladıklarını sanmıyorum. Bir video ekledim Videonun başında 2 saniye yapar. Nedenini bilen var mı?

This is Bam, I’ve translated this with Google translate:

Hello, now I have a 6 month old Dutch dwarf rabbit. My rabbit stiffened when he woke up. 
It also stretches. My rabbit is not in pain. I showed it to the vet, but I don't think they understand. 
I added a video It makes 2 seconds at the beginning of the video. Does anyone know why?

 

[Ert000]

Ah, yes.. I’m bad at making long sentences in English. Sorry

Hi and welcome to the BB forums!

I translated your post, but I haven’t figured out how to make your video visible. I’ve asked the other moderators for help with this.

I have watched the video, and for what it’s worth, I can’t see anything abnormal in it. It looks to me like your bun may be reaching down to eat a cecotrope. (Cecotropes are a special kind of rabbit poop that the rabbit must eat to get the full nourishment out of it’s food).

Young rabbits can look almost like they are having a seizure when they flop out, and also when they get up from a flopped out position. Rabbits can’t lie down on their sides in a controlled manner, due to their anatomy, so they “flop”, which can look very weird and sometimes scary before you get used to seeing it.

Does your bun have a good appetite?

Not a cecotrope poop. I know the flop. This is different. When my bunny wakes up, it seems to be experiencing a muscle spasm. At the beginning of the video 00:02 second. I’m uploading the video again.  [video width="720" height="1280" mp4="https://binkybunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/VID20210224181639.mp4"][/video]

I agree with Bam that this looks like a spasm common to prepping to eat/receive a cecotrope. In my experience, one of the most common reasons my rabbits will wake up is because “Ah, I have a cecotrope coming that I have to eat”, so it seems normal to me that you’re noticing this at wake ups. I believe it’s what is causing your rabbit to wake up, which again, is normal.

It is normal to appear to be having a muscle spasm. But I’m sure it doesn’t spasm. Thanks for your help

I’m sorry we cant identify the problem  in your film. It doesn’t mean that there isn’t something weird going on, of course. Since you know your bun best, you are the best person to judge if something isnt quite right with him.

Have you noticed anything else that seems off? Things like changes in eating habits or toilet habits? Changes in activity level or in how much interest he has in his environment?

I am sensitive about health. Good to eat, good to poops, good to pee. My bunny is very curious.😃 This posture is not new. My bunny been doing this for a very long time. No pain. But i wonder.

Hi, @Wick , @LBJ10 , @Bam I caught a new video. I can not upload to the site. I created a video upload link. Do you see if this is a spasm? But it doesn’t hurt

It looks like hiccups to me.  Young rabbits (and puppy dogs) often get hiccups. It’s absolutely normal.

He’s extremely cute!

Do rabbits hiccup? 😄😄 But there is no sound. There is also a very strong spasm, even the seat is shaking. Will hiccups be so strong? I hope it’s hiccups.  Because it doesn’t hurt. Thank you for compliment. In Islam, we say “mashallah” so that there is no evil eye.. I want my son, mashallah😄😄😄😄

We believe in evil eye. I am not saying you have bad eyes, do not misunderstand me. People look to the person they love most. We say  Masallah the things we love and like very much😄😄

I understand!😃

[DanaNM]

I agree it looks like hiccups!  They can be very strong, don’t make a noise, and don’t hurt. 🙂

Your bunny is very cute!

It’s normal to worry a lot about our bunnies, because we love them so much! Once you get a better sense of what is “normal” for your bunny, you will worry less.
