im gonna ring the vet tomorow but before i do so is there eny advice you can give me
i worry about my little bun

It is possible that he needs to be dewormed which is not something to worry about

If he was underweight and from a pet shop it is a good idea to have him checked over by a rabbit knowledgeable vet to also make sure that he has no other health issues.

Good luck!

Thankyou I do worry about my little man can u get dewormer for a pet shop

I would wait and get him checked out by a vet. That is possibly what the problem is but we really don't know..

Iwould not just buy any dewormer from a pet store. many of them are made for dogs/cats and could harm a rabbit.

hi im taking him vets later there gonna de worm him for me they said thats what it is

definitely a vet is in order. That's the first thing we always do with a new bunny--cuts down on the headaches later.
