Hey all,
So my bun Cassie was throwing a bit of a tantrum last night and this morning/afternoon. She was dragging/throwing her water bowl around and kicking the contents of her litter box out. Both aren't necessarily new behaviors, but I figured they were an expression of irritation with me because I was late feeding her and had left her litter box a day longer than I usually do. I cleaned up the mess, gave her fresh bedding, gave her dinner, and figured that'd be the end of it. Before bed, she began moving the bowl again. I largely ignored her because she often throws tantrums after I close her cage door for "bedtime."
When I woke up in the morning her litter box contents had once again been scattered and her water bowl was empty (sloshed everywhere) on the other side. I cleaned up the mess again, gave her food again, and have noticed since (it's been maybe 6hrs) she hasn't pooped or peed once. She had between both times aplenty, but hasn't since. She's touched the food I left for her, but hasn't eaten all of it and her water bowl looks as full as when I left in the morning. She's been in her hide all day and when I peek at her, appears to be loafing and looking normal. She's refused contact with me all day (not new either, she usually likes me best around dinner time).
What gives? Any ideas on what I could be doing to piss her off or if she might be feeling unwell?
