Been noticing the past week or so that our 11 /12 yo Dwarf rabbit Lola is sleeping much more. Deep sleep. Other than that she is 100% normal. Was at the vet about 2 months ago for senior checkup and everything looked good - including blood work. Only thing I can think of is her sleeping patterns changed and she is up more than normal at night.

Anything I should be looking out for?
 
I would suggest keeping an eye out for weight loss, as this can also start happening as our older buns slow down. And if you're at all concerned there's a problem, it's best to have your knowledgeable rabbit vet do a check up. There are things like heart issues, that could cause a rabbit to sleep more than usual, though you would usually have other health indicators of this as well.
