Hello i was wondering if someone could help me and give me some advice. My bunny eats and drinks but just doesn't poop I've see it pee a couple of times but not poop thank you and hope to hear from you soon
I also forgot to mention that the baby is wild i had to take him from the nest cuz he was the only one still alive does that have anything to do with it ??Hi - I had a three week old bunny that did that. It scared me. Take it to a vet immediately and they will likely give you something called Critical Care, which is a green, mushy substance extremely high in fiber that you can syringe into your rabbit. My baby bunny (a lionhead) began pooping immediately after giving her the Critical Care and didn't stop pooping after that! Go fast. It's urgent that they poo.
Also can u give me a estimate of how much it would cost to take it to the vet? And is there any other ways to help it use the restroom? ThanksHi - I had a three week old bunny that did that.

Thank you for all your advice ill let you kbow how it goes thank you soo muchI don't know. The vets around here might charge you about $40 for the vet visit, and then the cost of the Critical Care. I don't think it's hugely expensive. It doesn't matter if it is a wild bunny, the Critical Care would be very good for it. Try to get it to eat, and it might help too if you can gently rub it's belly in a circular motion for a few minutes and/or stimulate it's anal area with a warm wet wash cloth to hopefully stimulate it to poo. Be extremely gentle and do it for a bit, but not too long. You don't want to irritate the area. Just coax the poop to come out.
Thank you for all your advice ill let you kbow how it goes thank you soo much
The bunny is covered with fur its eating carrots and I've been feeding it alfalfa hay but he dont really eat the hay. His eyes are open and his ears are erect and he is jumpy when he hears loud sounds and yes he is abandoned because when i found him there was no sign of the mother and him and one other were the only ones in the nest but unfortunately the other one was dead when i found themmy guess is that the bunny is stressed as hell being taken from the nest... what is he eating? how old is he - covered with fur, body size, eyes open?
I would't mess with the wild bunny. Do you know for sure that he is abandoned?
I live in new mexico and i checked pretty much all the laws on wild animals and didnt find anything that says i couldnt raise the bunnyvets in my area won't see any wild animals. It may be even illegal to keep him, unless you are a licenced wild rehabber
