I'm a little worried about my 1 year old male lionhead Peaches. His poops seemsmaller (but I may be mistaken if I compare them to my other poop machine Popcorn makes has poops worthy of a Flemish).His poops are normal, jsut a bit smaller (which could be because he's gettingdifferent types of hay)He's never been a super active rabbit, but he does like to be petted when he's in his cage, but if he comes out, he'll scoot all over the place. His appetite seems reduced a bit too - he's leaving pellets in his bowl now (he gets about 1/4 per day split in 2 meals) and all the hay he can eat. He gets veggies a few times a week if I have any around.
Like I said he's been eating a bit less lately, but I read that this could be normal for the weather (here it's been up and down each day - scorching one day, cold the next). They're in my basement and I've closed the vent over their cage cuz it was too cold downstairs because of the A/C. This morning oneeye looks "wet" around the edges (on the fur, nothing in his eye)he may have just washed or splashed himself, it dried up when I touched it - didn't look like a discharge.
How can I tell if he's sick or if something is wrong? He's happy to see us, still tooth purrs, goes crazy and eats treats and seems to eat most of his hay. Nothing really seems to worry me, because he seems "normal" but the eating less worried me until I read that it could be the change in weather. His eye this AM got me worried - his paws & nose aren't wet or runny either.
Could thisjust be a bunch of little things leading to something bigger, or am I worried for nothing?
